Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shoe cleaning, in particular to a shoe washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A shoe washer is a washing machine specifically designed to clean shoes. A fixed brush is typically installed in the machine's chamber, which rotates the shoe using a pulsator or shoe holder to achieve scrubbing. However, due to the fixed position of the brush, when the shoe rotates, certain areas (such as the toe, the inside of the heel, and around the shoelace holes) are difficult to fully contact with the brush due to angle or position restrictions. This makes it difficult to thoroughly clean these areas, requiring multiple operations or manual cleaning to achieve satisfactory cleaning results, which seriously affects overall cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems:

[0004] In some shoe-washing machines on the market, the brushes are fixed in position. As the shoes rotate within the wash chamber along with the impeller or shoe holder, specific areas such as the toe, inner heel, and around the shoelace holes often have difficulty reaching the fixed brushes due to angle or position restrictions, making it difficult to completely remove stains from these areas. To achieve a satisfactory cleaning effect, users are forced to perform multiple cleaning operations, and may even need to manually assist in cleaning these hard-to-reach areas afterward. This undoubtedly significantly increases cleaning time and effort, seriously affecting the overall cleaning efficiency of the shoe-washing machine.

[0005] Furthermore, not only do shoes have hard-to-reach corners, but different parts of them may be made of different materials and have varying degrees of dirtiness. For example, the upper may be made of smooth leather, while the area around the shoelace holes may be made of fabric that easily accumulates dust. The toe of the shoe may be particularly dirty due to frequent contact with the ground, while the inside of the heel may be relatively clean. Faced with these complex and changing cleaning needs, the existing fixed brush design is obviously difficult to "prescribe the right medicine" and achieve targeted cleaning. In other words, it cannot automatically adjust the brushing force and method according to the material of the shoe and the dirty area, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect while avoiding unnecessary damage to the shoes.

[0006] To this end, the present invention provides a shoe washing machine that can more flexibly and accurately adapt to the cleaning needs of shoes and improve cleaning efficiency and effects.

[0007] The shoe washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a box body, a rotating assembly and a brush assembly, wherein a shoe washing chamber is provided in the box body; the rotating assembly is arranged on the box body, and the rotating assembly includes a rotating frame and a first drive, and the rotating frame is rotatable relative to the box body around a straight line in a first direction, and an output end of the first drive is transmission-connected to the rotating frame; the brush assembly includes a brush frame, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a second drive, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are arranged in parallel and have equal lengths.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shoe washing machine 100, which includes a housing 10, a rotating assembly 20 and a brush assembly 30. A shoe washing chamber 11 is provided in the housing 10. The rotating assembly 20 is provided on the housing 10, and the rotating assembly 20 includes a rotating frame 21 and a first driver 22. The rotating frame 21 is rotatable relative to the housing 10 around a straight line in a first direction, and the output end of the first driver 22 is transmission-connected to the rotating frame 21. The brush assembly 30 includes a brush frame 31, a first connecting rod 32, a second connecting rod 33 and a second driver 34. The first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are arranged in parallel and have equal lengths. One end of the first connecting rod 32 is rotationally connected to the rotating frame 21, and the other end of the first connecting rod 32 is rotationally connected to the brush frame 31. One end of the second connecting rod 33 is rotationally connected to the rotating frame 21, and the other end of the second connecting rod 33 is rotationally connected to the brush frame 31. A cleaning brush 36 is provided on the brush holder 31 , and the second driver 34 is used to drive the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to rotate relative to the rotating frame 21 around a straight line in the second direction, so as to drive the brush holder 31 and the cleaning brush 36 to move in the shoe washing chamber 11 .

[0038] Specifically, the brush assembly 30 is installed on the housing 10 through the rotating assembly 20. Under the driving action of the first driver 22 and the second driver 34, the cleaning brush 36 can move freely in the shoe washing chamber 11 to reach any position of the cleaning chamber, thereby achieving effective cleaning of the shoes in the shoe washing chamber 11. That is, during the cleaning process of the shoes, especially during the cleaning process of a specific area on the shoes (such as the toe, shoelace holes or other dirty areas), the first driver 22 and the second driver 34 can drive the cleaning brush 36 to move to the area through the rotating frame 21 and the brush assembly 30, thereby achieving effective cleaning of the specific area, thereby being able to more flexibly and accurately adapt to the cleaning needs of the shoes and improve the cleaning efficiency and effect. It should be noted that the shoe washing machine 100 provided by the present invention is not only suitable for cleaning specific areas of shoes, but also for cleaning the entire shoe.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotating frame 21, the first connecting rod 32, the brush holder 31, and the second connecting rod 33 form a parallelogram structure, allowing the cleaning brush 36 to maintain a stable movement trajectory. Specifically, the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are disposed between the rotating frame 21 and the brush holder 31, with their ends connected to the rotating frame 21 and the brush holder 31, respectively. During operation, the second driver 34 drives the brush holder 31 to translate in the first direction via the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33, ensuring that the cleaning brush 36 maintains a consistent orientation, ensuring stable operation.

[0040] In summary, the shoe washing machine 100 provided by the present invention cooperates with the rotating assembly 20 and the brush assembly 30 so that the cleaning brush 36 can move freely in the shoe washing chamber 11, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the shoes, thereby being able to more flexibly and accurately adapt to the cleaning needs of the shoes, and helping to improve the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0041] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an inner housing 12, an outer housing 13, and a door 14. The inner housing 12 is disposed on the inner side of the outer housing 13. The inner housing 12 has an opening 121. The door 14 can be opened and closed at the opening 121 to open and close the shoe-washing chamber 11, making it convenient to put in or take out shoes, and to prevent detergent or water from overflowing from the shoe-washing chamber 11 during the cleaning process. The rotating frame 21 can be disposed in a corner of the housing 10, which can fully utilize the space within the housing 10 and allow the rotating frame 21 to have a larger range of motion when rotating, thereby driving the brush assembly 30 to achieve more flexible and comprehensive movement within the shoe-washing chamber 11. At the same time, it also prevents the rotating frame 21 from interfering with other components inside the housing 10 during rotation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the shoe-washing machine 100.

[0042] Specifically, when the shoe washing machine 100 begins operation, the first driver 22 drives the rotating frame 21 to rotate about a line in a first direction. Because the rotating frame 21 is located at a corner of the housing 10, its rotation drives the brush assembly 30 to form a larger sweeping area within the shoe washing chamber 11, ensuring that the cleaning brush 36 can cover every part of the shoe. Simultaneously, the second driver 34 drives the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to rotate about a line in a second direction relative to the rotating frame 21, further adjusting the position and angle of the brush frame 31 and the cleaning brush 36 to more precisely conform to the shape of the shoe and the distribution of dirt.

[0043] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is the height direction of the box body 10 (i.e., the up-down direction of the box body 10), and the second direction is the horizontal direction of the box body 10 (i.e., the horizontal plane on which the box body 10 is located). The horizontal direction includes the front-back direction and the left-right direction. During operation, the first driver 22 drives the rotating frame 21 to swing horizontally relative to the box body 10, and the second driver 34 drives the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to swing vertically of the box body 10.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating frame 21 is provided with a first rotating shaft 211, which extends along a line in the second direction. Both the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 have a rotating hole 321, through which the first rotating shaft 211 passes. At least one of the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 is provided with a first gear 322, and the output end of the second driver 34 is provided with a second gear 341. The first gear 322 and the second gear 341 mesh with each other, helping to improve transmission accuracy.

[0045] Specifically, when the position or angle of the cleaning brush 36 needs to be adjusted, the second driver 34 is activated and drives the second gear 341 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the second gear 341 and the first gear 322, the first gear 322 rotates accordingly, driving the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 211, thereby driving the brush holder 31 and the cleaning brush 36 to move within the shoe washing chamber 11, so that the cleaning brush 36 can accurately clean different parts of the shoes.

[0046] Furthermore, the first gear 322 is configured as a first sector gear, the curvature of which corresponds to the rotation angle of the first connecting rod 32. In other words, the tooth surface of the first sector gear only covers a portion of the circumference, forming a specific curvature. When the second driver 34 drives the second gear 341 to rotate, the second gear 341 meshes with the first sector gear. Due to the curvature of the tooth surface of the first sector gear, the rotation angle of the first connecting rod 32 is strictly limited to a preset range. The preset range can be set according to actual needs, for example, 0° to 30°, 0° to 60°, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, the physical limit created by the first sector gear effectively controls the movement of the cleaning brush 36 within the shoe-washing chamber 11. During the shoe-washing process, the cleaning brush 36 needs to cover all parts of the shoe, but it does not require unlimited rotation. By setting the arc of the first sector gear, the maximum rotation angle of the cleaning brush 36 can be precisely controlled, preventing it from exceeding the required operating range, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

[0048] Furthermore, the first gear 322 is also a face gear, so that the rotational motion of the second gear 341 can be converted into the swinging motion of the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33, and the impact and vibration during the transmission process can be reduced.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 32 is located above the second connecting rod 33 in the height direction of the housing 10, and the first gear 322 is provided on the first connecting rod 32. The first gear 322 can be detachably mounted on the first connecting rod 32 via a threaded structure. Of course, in some embodiments, the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32 can be connected via a snap fit, welding, or other methods.

[0050] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 32 includes a rod body 323 and a boss 324, the boss 324 is provided with a threaded hole, and the second gear 341 is provided with a through hole. One end of the stud can pass through the through hole and be threadedly connected to the threaded hole to realize the connection between the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32, which is not only firmly fixed but also easy to disassemble.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating frame 21 includes a first plate 212 and a second plate 213 arranged opposite to each other, and a accommodating cavity 214 is provided between the first plate 212 and the second plate 213. The first rotating shaft 211 is provided in the accommodating cavity 214, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft 211 are correspondingly connected to the first plate 212 and the second plate 213, so that the ends of the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are both accommodated in the accommodating cavity 214.

[0052] Optionally, the first plate 212 and the second plate 213 may be joined together by being threadedly connected.

[0053] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a mounting platform 15, which is provided with a second rotating shaft 151. The second rotating shaft 151 extends along a straight line in the first direction. The rotating frame 21 also includes a third gear 215, which is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 151. The output end of the first driver 22 is provided with a fourth gear 221, and the third gear 215 meshes with the fourth gear 221.

[0054] Specifically, when a specific area of the shoe needs to be cleaned, the first driver 22 is activated and drives the fourth gear 221 to rotate. The fourth gear 221 transmits power to the rotating frame 21 through meshing with the third gear 215, causing the rotating frame 21 to swing around the second rotating shaft 151, thereby driving the brush assembly 30 (including the cleaning brush 36) to move synchronously within the shoe washing chamber 11, thereby accurately moving the cleaning brush 36 to the area to be cleaned, achieving precise cleaning of different parts of the shoe, and helping to improve the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, the third gear 215 is configured as a second sector gear, the curvature of which corresponds to the rotation angle of the rotating frame 21. Similar to the first sector gear described in the above embodiment, the second sector gear's tooth surface only covers a portion of the circumference, forming a specific curvature. This means that when the fourth gear 221 drives the second sector gear to rotate, the rotation range of the rotating frame 21 is strictly limited to a preset angle. Similarly, the second sector gear can be configured as needed, for example, from 0° to 30°, or from 0° to 60°, etc.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first plate 212 of the rotating frame 21 is provided with a plug-in block 2121, and the third gear 215 is provided with a slot 2151 that matches the plug-in block 2121. The plug-in block 2121 is designed in an elongated strip shape, providing sufficient contact area and friction, effectively preventing loosening or slipping during relative motion. Furthermore, the elongated strip shape helps distribute stress, reducing the risk of structural damage caused by excessive localized force.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with a stopper 16, which is positioned corresponding to the mounting platform 15. The stopper 16 is provided with a stopper hole, and the rotating frame 21 has a third rotation axis 2131, which extends through the stopper hole. In other words, in the height direction of the housing 10, the stopper 16 is located above the mounting platform 15, thereby limiting the height of the rotating frame 21 and ensuring stable rotation of the rotating frame 21. In this embodiment, the third rotation axis 2131 is provided on the second plate 213.

[0058] Furthermore, the limiting platform 16 is provided with a rotating bearing 161, part of which can be positioned within the limiting hole. The third rotating shaft 2131 is inserted into the inner hole of the rotating bearing 161. This not only reduces energy loss due to friction, lowers the wear rate of mechanical components, and extends the service life of the shoe washer 100, but also enhances the stability of the rotating frame 21 during operation. Furthermore, due to the support provided by the bearing, the rotating frame 21 maintains a more stable position when rotating about the third rotating shaft 2131, reducing noise and vibration caused by shaking or deviation. This not only improves the overall performance of the shoe washer 100 but also provides a more comfortable user experience.

[0059] In this embodiment, a limit platform 16 is located at the top of the housing 10. The upper end of the rotating frame 21 is positioned against the limit platform 16, while the lower end of the rotating frame 21 is positioned against the mounting platform 15. This not only ensures stable support of the rotating frame 21 in the vertical direction, but also effectively prevents any shaking or deviation of the rotating frame 21 during operation through the friction between the limit platform 16 and the rotating frame 21. Furthermore, the limit platform 16 also serves as a precise limiter, limiting the range of motion of the rotating frame 21 in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the rotating frame 21 can rotate smoothly along a predetermined trajectory.

[0060] Optionally, the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 are flat-plate structures that can be attached to the inner housing 12 via threaded mounting. Specifically, threaded holes are provided in the inner housing 12, and studs are used to securely attach the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 to the threaded holes in the inner housing 12. This method is not only simple and quick, but also ensures that the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 maintain stable performance over extended use, effectively preventing mechanical failures caused by loosening or falling off.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes a position limiting module 40, which is electrically connected to the first driver 22 and includes a first position sensor 41 and a second position sensor 42. The first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 are spaced apart on the mounting platform 15 around the second rotation axis 151. This not only ensures that the sensors can fully and accurately capture the position changes of the rotating frame 21 during rotation, but also effectively avoids blind spots or errors that may be caused by a single sensor through their spaced arrangement.

[0062] The first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 can accurately detect the rotation angle and position of the rotating frame 21 around the second rotation axis 151 in real time. When the rotating frame 21 rotates to a preset position during the cleaning process, the sensors immediately feed this information back to the first driver 22. Based on the received signals, the first driver 22 quickly adjusts its output state to control the rotation speed, direction, or stop position of the rotating frame 21. This improves the control precision of the cleaning process and helps enhance cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.

[0063] Optionally, the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 may be configured as limit switches or inductive grating sensors. When the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 are configured as limit switches, the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 may be respectively located at the first and second limit positions of the rotating frame 21 in the horizontal direction to prevent the rotating frame 21 from excessively rotating.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes a shoe support 50, which is disposed within the shoe washing chamber 11. The shoe support 50 has a support surface 51, which is disposed toward the bottom of the shoe washing chamber 11. The cleaning brush 36 is movable along the support surface 51. In other words, during the cleaning process, the cleaning brush 36 reciprocates or rotates along the support surface 51 of the shoe support 50 to thoroughly and deeply clean all parts of the shoe. This not only ensures that the cleaning brush 36 can closely contact the surface of the shoe, improving the thoroughness of the cleaning, but also, through the support of the shoe support 50, allows the cleaning brush 36 to maintain a stable posture and direction during movement.

[0065] Moreover, during the movement of the cleaning brush 36, the cleaning brush 36 always remains arranged along the height direction of the box body 10, so that the cleaning brush 36 can make full use of the space in the shoe washing cavity 11 to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the shoes from top to bottom, which helps to reduce the cleaning dead corners caused by the gap between the cleaning brush 36 and the surface of the shoes.

[0066] Furthermore, the cleaning brush 36 includes a spherical brush head 361 and a third driver 362. The third driver 362 is disposed on the brush holder 31, and the spherical brush head 361 is disposed at the output end of the third driver 362. The spherical brush head 361 can adapt to irregular surfaces on shoes, such as the curved surfaces of the toe, heel, and side of the shoe, and can effectively remove stubborn stains by following the gaps and textures of the shoe.

[0067] The third driver 362 rotates the spherical brush head 361, improving shoe cleaning efficiency. Especially for heavily soiled areas, the third driver 362 rotates the spherical brush head 361, allowing it to perform continuous, high-intensity rotary cleaning of the area. This targeted cleaning method concentrates cleaning power, precisely targeting stubborn stains, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0068] Optionally, a detachable connection may be adopted between the spherical brush head 361 and the output end of the third driver 362 , such as a threaded connection or a snap connection, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the spherical brush head 361 .

[0069] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe support 50 includes a heel portion 52, a middle portion 53, and a toe portion 54. The middle portion 53 is provided with a first guide bar 531 and a second guide bar 532. The first guide bar 531 extends in a direction opposite to that of the second guide bar 532. The heel portion 52 has a first guide groove 521 that matches the first guide bar 531, and the toe portion 54 has a second guide groove 541 that matches the second guide bar 532. During use of the shoe support 50, the sliding fit between the first guide bar 531 and the first guide groove 521, and the sliding fit between the second guide bar 532 and the second guide groove 541, allows the shoe support 50 to form bidirectional expansion or contraction when adjusting the size, thereby more flexibly adapting to shoes of different sizes.

[0070] Furthermore, the middle portion 53 is provided with a guide gear 533, the heel portion 52 has a first rack 522 meshing with the guide gear 533, and the toe portion 54 has a second rack 542 meshing with the guide gear 533. The first rack 522 and the second rack 542 are disposed on opposite sides of the guide gear 533. Therefore, during adjustment, the operator only needs to pull the heel portion 52 or the toe portion 54 to achieve bidirectional extension and retraction via the guide gear 533. The toe portion 54 has a first slot 543 for accommodating the first rack 522, and the heel portion 52 has a second slot 523 for accommodating the second rack 542.

[0071] In other words, when adjusting the size of the shoe support 50, the operator need not perform complex disassembly or installation operations; they simply need to gently pull the heel 52 or toe 54. When the heel 52 or toe 54 is pulled, the first rack 522 or the second rack 542 moves accordingly, and through meshing with the guide gear 533, the linear motion is converted into rotational motion of the guide gear 533. The rotation of the guide gear 533 in turn drives the first rack 522 or the second rack 542 on the other side to move in the opposite direction, thereby achieving bidirectional expansion and contraction of the shoe support 50. This not only simplifies the size adjustment process of the shoe support 50, but also allows the operator to easily and quickly complete the adjustment of the shoe support 50. Furthermore, once the shoe support 50 is adjusted to the desired size, it maintains a stable support state and is not easily sized by external forces.

[0072] Furthermore, the shoe support 50 further includes a shoe support 55 having an arc-shaped structure, one end of which is rotatably connected to the middle portion 53. In this embodiment, the middle portion 53 defines a movable cavity 534, within which a fourth rotating shaft 535 is disposed. One end of the shoe support 55 defines a mounting hole, within which the fourth rotating shaft 535 is rotatably inserted.

[0073] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 also includes a shoe rack 61 and a fourth drive, the shoe rack 61 includes a rotating disk 611 and a plurality of support rods 612, the rotating disk 611 is rotatably connected to the box 10, and the output end of the fourth drive is transmission-connected to the rotating disk 611, the shoe support 50 is provided on the support rod 612, and the shoe support 50 and the support rod 612 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the rotating disk 611 can rotate freely in the box 10, thereby driving the entire shoe rack 61 to perform a circular motion, which not only provides a more uniform and comprehensive cleaning effect for the cleaning of the shoes, but also makes it more convenient for users to place or take out shoes.

[0074] Furthermore, the first driver 22, the second driver 34 and the fourth driver can be used in combination, so that the cleaning brush 36 can be quickly moved to the area of the shoe to be cleaned, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency and make the cleaning more uniform.

[0075] Furthermore, a first pulley 613 is provided on the rotating disk 611, and a second pulley is provided on the output end of the fourth driver. The first pulley 613 and the second pulley are connected by a belt. The belt drive has a certain elastic buffering effect, which can absorb and disperse the impact and vibration during the transmission process to a certain extent, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire transmission system.

[0076] In this embodiment, two support rods 612 are provided. A rotating disk 611 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 10. The rotating disk 611 has a first protrusion 6111 and a second protrusion 6112, which are symmetrically arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating disk 611. The two support rods 612 are disposed on the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, thereby increasing the gap between the two support rods 612 and, in turn, the gap between the two shoe supports 50, thereby preventing the shoes on the two shoe supports 50 from interfering with each other during the cleaning process.

[0077] Furthermore, the support rod 612 is provided with a threaded section, and the shoe holder 50 may be provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded hole on the shoe holder 50 may match the threaded section of the support rod 612. During the installation process of the shoe holder 50, the installation of the shoe holder is achieved through the mutual cooperation between the threaded hole and the threaded section.

[0078] In some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes an air supply assembly 70, which includes a fan 71 and an air duct 72. An air supply port 122 is provided on the housing 10. The ends of the air duct 72 connect the air outlet of the fan 71 and the air supply port 122 to deliver the airflow generated by the fan 71 into the housing 10. The air supply port 122 is disposed toward the support surface 51 of the shoe holder 50, so that when the fan 71 is activated, the airflow generated can directly act on the surface of the shoes, thereby accelerating the dehydration of the shoes.

[0079] During operation of the shoe washer 100, when the fourth driver rotates the shoe rack 61 and the shoes thereon, the air supply assembly 70 is activated simultaneously. At this point, the airflow generated by the fan 71 is transported through the air duct 72 to the air outlet 122, directly acting on the rotating surface of the shoes. This dynamic air supply not only accelerates the air flow on the shoe surface but also helps to dry the shoes more quickly through the impact and friction of the airflow. Furthermore, since the shoes are exposed to the airflow from all directions during rotation, the dehydration effect is more uniform and thorough.

[0080] Furthermore, the air supply assembly 70 also includes a plasma generator 73, which is located within the air duct 72. When the airflow generated by the fan 71 passes through the air duct 72, the plasma generator 73 is activated synchronously, generating a large number of positive and negative ions. These ions are transported along with the airflow to the air supply port 122 and ultimately act on the surface of the shoes and the air inside the housing 10, effectively removing odors from the shoes and the housing 10.

[0081] It should be noted that in this application, the rotational connection between each component can be achieved using a bearing structure to achieve the purpose of reducing wear and improving rotational stability. In the embodiment provided in this application, the first driver 22, the second driver 34, the third driver 362, and the fourth driver can be configured as components such as motors and pneumatic motors.
