Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shoe rack technology, specifically an automatic leather shoe care rack. Background Technology
[0002] Leather shoes are a common type of footwear in daily life. They are shoes made of genuine leather, usually from animal hides such as cowhide, sheepskin, and pigskin. Leather shoes come in many different styles and for various purposes, including formal shoes, athletic shoes, and casual shoes. The advantages of leather shoes include comfort, durability, breathability, and water resistance. Moreover, leather shoes are also aesthetically pleasing, which can make people feel more confident when wearing them. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance and cleaning to extend the lifespan of leather shoes.
[0003] When caring for leather shoes, due to the special nature of the material, simple and effective care is needed after each time the shoes are taken off. First, use a brush to clean the surface of the shoes. After cleaning, apply leather oil evenly to the surface using a brush. When storing the shoes, they should not only be aired out but also protected to prevent them from drying out, accumulating dust, or cracking.
[0004] A common solution is to clean and polish the shoes after taking them off, and then place them on a shoe rack to air dry. This method is convenient, simple, and the most common. However, when you need to wear the shoes again, you will find that dust has accumulated on the surface after a period of airing. At this point, since you need to wear clean shoes, you will need to perform a simple cleaning. This method provides good care for the shoes, but it requires two surface treatments, which wastes more time on the surface and uses more shoe polish.
[0005] Another solution is to cover the surface of the leather shoes with a shoe film after cleaning and oiling them, and before airing them out. This can effectively prevent dust from settling on the surface of the leather shoes after they are placed on the shoe rack. This method can effectively protect the surface of the leather shoes from dust. However, when the surface of the shoes is dirty, it is inevitable that you will get your hands dirty and it will also waste some time.
[0006] Therefore, to make leather shoe care more convenient and efficient, this invention provides an automatic leather shoe care rack to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic leather shoe care rack to solve the problem of time wasted in the process of caring for and placing leather shoes.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0009] An automatic shoe care rack for leather shoes includes a frame, a cleaning mechanism, a shoe film mechanism, an upper conveying mechanism, a lower conveying mechanism, and a control structure. The frame is fixed to the ground and is columnar, which facilitates the layering of the shoe rack. The cleaning mechanism is detachably and fixedly installed on the upper end of the frame, and is used to clean and polish leather shoes while they are being conveyed to the upper layer. The shoe film mechanism is detachably and fixedly installed on the frame, and is used to extend the shoe film while the shoes are being cleaned and conveyed to the upper layer, and to cover the shoes with the film when they fall. The upper conveying mechanism is slidably installed on the frame. The lower conveying mechanism is slidably installed on the frame. The control structure is fixedly installed on the frame.
[0010] After the shoes are taken off and placed on the upper conveyor mechanism of the shoe rack, the upper conveyor mechanism begins to transfer the shoes from the top of the shoe rack to the lower level. During the transfer, the shoes first pass through the cleaning mechanism and then through the shoe film mechanism. When the shoes pass through the cleaning mechanism, the surface of the shoes is cleaned and oiled, at which point the shoes are clean. As the shoes are transferred from the top to the lower level, there is a falling process. During the falling process, the shoes first pass through the shoe film mechanism. When the shoes fall through the shoe film mechanism, the shoe film falls with them. As the shoes and the shoe film fall, hot air blows from both sides of the shoe film mechanism to make the shoe film adhere tightly to the shoes. After the shoes land on the lower conveyor mechanism, the shoe film mechanism stops blowing air, and the shoes continue to be transferred to the lower level of the shoe rack for placement.
[0011] The above process not only cleans and oils the leather shoes while they are placed on the shoe rack, but more importantly, it applies a protective coating to the shoes as they are transferred from the upper to the lower rack. This provides further protection for the shoes after cleaning and oiling, eliminating concerns about dust settling on the surface of the shoes after they have been on the shoe rack for a period of time.
[0012] Preferably, the frame includes a shoe plate layer and a cleaning layer. The cleaning layer is the top layer of the frame and is used to facilitate the installation of the cleaning mechanism. The shoe plate layer is parallel to the cleaning layer and is located below the cleaning layer. The shoe plate layer has multiple layers on the frame to store multiple pairs of shoes, thus facilitating the placement of shoes and saving space. The number of shoe plate layers can be set as needed.
[0013] After the shoe rack is divided into layers, the function of each layer becomes very clear. The upper shoe rack is used to place leather shoes that need care, while the lower shoe rack is not only used to store shoes sent from the upper layer, but can also hold other types of shoes like a regular shoe rack.
[0014] It's important to note that the variety of leather shoes is actually quite extensive, with each style possessing unique characteristics and design. Since everyone's shoe size varies, ranging from large to small, it's necessary to produce and supply shoes in various sizes. This necessitates a shoe rack capable of accommodating shoes of all sizes. Even within the same size range, different styles of shoes may have different shapes and heights. Therefore, to meet the storage needs of various shoe types, the length, width, and height of the shoe rack should be suitable for most people, facilitating the storage of different styles of shoes. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the shoe rack, a high-rigidity material should be chosen as the main material of the frame to ensure that the shoe rack can stably support the weight of shoes of various styles and sizes.
[0015] Preferably, the shoe film mechanism includes a shoe film frame, a film rolling roller, a shoe film gear, a film cutting sheet, a heating rod, and a fan; the shoe film frame is detachably and fixedly installed on the frame body, and the shoe film frame is a hollow cuboid with an axle hole. The hollow shoe film frame is used to hold the shoe film and allow the shoe to fall through the film as it falls from the middle of the shoe film frame; the film rolling roller is rotatably installed on the axle hole; the shoe film gear is fixedly installed on the film rolling roller, and the bevel gear is used to drive the film rolling roller to rotate and produce film; the material of the film cutting sheet should be as thin as possible. The shoe film is made of a rigid material and is fixed to the shoe film holder. The cutting piece cuts the shoe film and triggers the shoe film heating switch when the shoe is placed down. The cutting piece cuts the shoe film as the shoe lands, with the sole pressing against the film and cutting it. A heating rod is fixedly installed on one side of the shoe film holder, and a fan is fixedly installed on one side of the heating rod. The angle between the heating rod and the fan is 45°. This 45° angle is designed to better allow the shoe film to adhere to and wrap around the shoe through the heating and blowing action. It is important to note that the fans at both ends of the shoe film mechanism are not directly facing each other, but slightly offset at a certain angle to prevent the airflow from the two fans from interfering with each other.
[0016] In the shoe manufacturing process, before the shoes enter the shoe film assembly via conveyor belt, they are first cleaned by a cleaning mechanism. Simultaneously, shoe film rollers begin rolling and placing the shoe film. When the shoes are conveyed above the shoe film assembly, the shoe film has been stretched out and laid on the shoe film rack, awaiting the next step. As the shoes fall, the film is first cut, with the shoes falling along with the film. When the film falls and contacts the cutting plate, it is cut. Because the weight of the shoes is greater than the weight of the film, the shoes continue to fall with the film. In the hollow section of the shoe film assembly, heating rods and fans begin operating.
[0017] It's important to note that when shoes fall, the distance they travel from the upper to the lower shelf of the shoe rack should be controlled. To achieve this, the upper conveyor mechanism should ideally ensure the shoes fall close to the protective film mechanism, minimizing the descent distance. This allows the soles to contact the shoe plate when the shoes reach the lower conveyor, reducing impact and wear. Furthermore, choosing a suitable protective film material is crucial for ensuring the shoes' quality and protection. A high-strength, high-toughness heat-shrinkable material should be selected. This material is not only easy to heat but also effectively prevents dust, water, and moisture. Under the protection of the protective film, the shoes can effectively avoid the effects of the external environment, maintaining their original quality and appearance.
[0018] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning frame, a clean water bucket, a washing water bucket, a cleaning linkage, a washing assembly, and an oil brush assembly; the cleaning frame is fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame, and a cleaning slide rail is provided inside the cleaning frame, which is parallel to the shoe film mechanism; setting the cleaning slide rail parallel to the shoe film frame is to allow the cleaning mechanism to have better angles and degrees of freedom to achieve all-round cleaning of leather shoes; a water bucket plate is provided at the bottom of the cleaning frame; the contour recognition unit is fixedly installed on the cleaning frame, and the contour recognition unit is used to determine the overall contour of the leather shoes; the clean water bucket and the washing water bucket... The system is placed on the water bucket plate, and the clean water bucket is used to transport water to the washing water bucket; the cleaning linkage is slidably installed on the cleaning slide rail; the washing and brushing assembly is fixedly installed on the cleaning linkage, and the washing and brushing assembly is first placed in the washing water bucket to clean the leather shoes before cleaning; the oil brush assembly is fixedly installed on the cleaning linkage, and the number of oil brush assemblies is set to 2. Setting the oil brush assembly to 2 is to prevent blind spots when a single oil brush assembly is used to apply oil to the leather shoes, which would lead to the problem of incomplete oiling of the leather shoes.
[0019] In the leather shoe storage system, as the shoes are conveyed, they enter the washing and brushing assembly. The brush heads rotate first, then clean the surface of the shoes. This cleaning process effectively removes dirt and dust from the surface. After cleaning, the shoes are conveyed to the oiling brush assembly. In this assembly, the oiling brushes rotate and apply oil to the surface of the shoes. This oiling process provides maintenance and care for the shoes, restoring their original shine and softness before they are even placed on the shoe rack. Through this washing and oiling process, the shoes are thoroughly cleaned and cared for before being placed on the shoe rack. This not only extends the life of the shoes but also keeps them clean, shiny, and comfortable at all times.
[0020] The washing assembly includes a washing telescopic rod, a washing motor, and a washing turntable. The upper end of the washing telescopic rod is slidably mounted on a cleaning connecting rod. The upper end of the washing motor is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing telescopic rod. The washing turntable is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing motor. The cooperation between the washing telescopic rod and the cleaning connecting rod allows for comprehensive cleaning of the leather shoes according to their contours. The washing turntable is cylindrical, and a sponge is fixedly installed at its bottom. The cylindrical shape of the washing turntable is chosen because it comes into contact with the leather shoes during the washing process. The absence of sharp edges on the cylindrical turntable will not damage the shoes. Furthermore, the sponge at the bottom of the turntable not only protects the shoes during washing but also ensures more even water distribution.
[0021] When the leather shoes enter the cleaning area, the washing telescopic rod slides onto the cleaning linkage, the upper end of the washing motor is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing telescopic rod, and the washing turntable is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing motor. At this time, the washing turntable begins to rotate, and the coordinated action of the washing telescopic rod and the cleaning linkage, according to the contours of the leather shoes, enables comprehensive cleaning. Simultaneously, the washing components reach every corner of the leather shoes, effectively removing dirt and stains from the surface, leaving the shoes looking brand new.
[0022] The brush assembly includes a brush telescopic rod, a brush motor, and a brush turntable. The upper end of the brush telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the cleaning linkage. The brush motor is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the brush telescopic rod. The brush turntable is fixedly mounted on the brush motor. The brush turntable has a shoe polish groove for holding shoe polish. The cooperation between the brush telescopic rod and the cleaning linkage allows for all-around brushing of the shoe according to its contour. The brush turntable has a cylindrical hollow shoe polish groove to better preserve the shoe polish. Additionally, the sealing strip inside the brush turntable prevents shoe polish from overflowing when needed. Circular oil outlet holes are arranged around the cylindrical hollow shoe polish groove, and multiple circular oil outlet holes are arranged around the shoe polish to ensure more even oil distribution.
[0023] When the shoes enter the polishing area, the polishing motor is activated, and the polishing disc begins to rotate. Simultaneously, the extension rod automatically adjusts its length according to the shoe's contours. When the polishing disc contacts the shoe, shoe polish is applied to the brush, which then evenly spreads the polish along the shoe's contours. The coordinated action of the extension rod and the cleaning linkage ensures comprehensive polishing of the shoes, guaranteeing thorough coverage of every area. After polishing is complete, the polishing motor is switched off.
[0024] The upper conveying mechanism includes an upper conveying frame, a worm gear, a conveying gear, and an upper sliding plate. The upper conveying frame is fixedly installed above the frame body, and its roughness is Ra0.5-Ra3.2. When the roughness of the upper conveying frame is less than Ra0.5, it will be too smooth to complete the conveying work. When the roughness of the upper conveying frame is greater than Ra3.2, it will be too rough, making the conveying more laborious. The worm gear is rotatably installed on the frame body. A slide rail is provided in the middle of the upper conveying frame, and the worm gear meshes with the worm gear. The conveying gear is fixedly installed at one end of the worm gear and meshes with the shoe film gear. The upper sliding plate is slidably installed in the slide rail, and the sliding of the upper sliding plate is used for the drop of the leather shoes.
[0025] When the upper conveyor mechanism starts operating, the upper slide is closed, ready to receive the shoes to be conveyed. The shoes are placed on the upper slide and conveyed above the shoe membrane mechanism as the upper conveyor operates. At this point, the upper slide opens to allow the shoes to fall. The opening of the upper slide allows the shoes to fall smoothly through the shoe membrane mechanism. Once the shoes have fallen to the designated position, the upper slide closes to receive another pair of shoes at the start of the next conveyor cycle. This design not only achieves the conveying of the shoes but also completes the entire falling process, making the entire workflow more efficient and smooth. This design ensures the stability and safety of the shoes during conveying and falling, while also improving production and work efficiency.
[0026] The lower-level conveying mechanism includes a lower-level conveyor frame, a shoe rack, and a lower-level sliding plate. The lower-level conveyor frame is slidably mounted on the frame, which has a slide rail. The shoe rack is slidably mounted on the frame, and has a conveyor rail. The conveyor rail is used to adjust the height of the lower-level conveyor frame relative to the shoe rack layer. The lower-level sliding plate is slidably mounted within the slide rail. The lower-level conveyor frame's movement on the frame determines the shoe rack layer to which it will go, and the shoe rack is used by the lower-level conveyor frame to determine the placement position of shoes on the shoe rack layer.
[0027] Based on this solution, this design not only makes shoe care more convenient and faster, but also more hygienic. Since leather shoes are frequently worn outdoors, their surfaces are easily soiled by dust, mud, and other grime. This shoe rack design allows cleaning, oiling, and protective coating to be completed inside the rack itself. Users no longer need to spend time and effort manually cleaning and oiling their shoes; instead, they can delegate this task to the automatic shoe care rack, thus saving time and labor costs.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0029] 1. This invention utilizes the cooperation between the upper conveying mechanism and the shoe film mechanism. By meshing the conveying gear of the upper conveying mechanism with the shoe film gear of the shoe film mechanism, the shoe film can be released when the leather shoes pass through the cleaning mechanism. After the leather shoes are conveyed above the shoe film mechanism and fall, the shoe film is applied to the leather shoes before they fall onto the lower conveying mechanism. This method automatically applies the film to the leather shoes after cleaning, allowing the leather shoes to remain clean for a longer period of time.
[0030] 2. This invention, through the cooperation of the upper conveying mechanism and the cleaning mechanism, allows the surface of leather shoes to be cleaned and oiled during the conveying process after they are taken off and placed in the upper conveying mechanism of the shoe rack. This method eliminates the need for manual cleaning of leather shoes, saving time.
[0031] 3. This invention, through the cooperation of the upper and lower conveying mechanisms, not only allows leather shoes to be cleaned and coated during transport, but also automatically places them on a shoe rack. In this way, leather shoes are both cared for and stored. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0045] Example 1:
[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic shoe care rack for leather shoes is provided. Its structure includes a frame, a shoe film mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, an upper conveying mechanism, a lower conveying mechanism, and a control structure. The frame is fixed to the ground and is column-shaped, serving as a support for the structure and facilitating the coordination of other mechanisms. The cleaning mechanism is fixedly installed on the upper end of the frame and cleans and polishes the leather shoes while they are being conveyed to the upper layer. The shoe film mechanism is fixedly installed on the frame and extends the shoe film while the shoes are being cleaned and conveyed to the upper layer, covering the shoes as they fall. The upper conveying mechanism is slidably installed on the frame and conveys the shoes, passing them first through the cleaning mechanism and then falling over the shoe film structure. The lower conveying mechanism is slidably installed on the frame and handles the conveying and placement of the shoes. The control structure is fixedly installed on the frame and ensures a more organized automatic shoe care process.
[0047] With this mechanism, after the user places the leather shoes into the conveyor layer of the shoe rack, the shoes are cleaned and coated during the process of moving to the next layer. This not only cares for the leather shoes but also automates their placement. Throughout the process, the user only needs to place the shoes on the conveyor mechanism, and the remaining cleaning, coating, and placement work is handled by the equipment.
[0048] like Figure 4As shown, the frame includes a shoe plate layer and a cleaning layer. The cleaning layer is on the top layer of the frame and is used to facilitate the installation of the cleaning mechanism. The shoe plate layer is parallel to the cleaning layer and is located below the cleaning layer. The shoe plate layer has multiple layers on the frame to store multiple pairs of shoes, thus solving the problem of convenient shoe placement and saving space.
[0049] The overall parameters of the frame are 1800mm*400mm*1200mm. The frame is divided into three layers, with a vertical distance of 400mm between each layer. The thickness of the shoe plate layer is 30mm. The above parameters meet the requirements for the placement of most types of shoes, while leaving enough space for the transfer of leather shoes. One end of the shoe plate layer does not have a shoe plate, leaving a 400mm long space for the vertical transfer of shoe plates.
[0050] The shoe rack is also categorized by its layered structure, with each layer primarily used for caring for leather shoes. The cleaning layer is mainly for storing leather shoes, while the shoe rack layers are primarily for storing other types of shoes. This shoe rack is not limited to storing leather shoes; other types of shoes can also be placed in the remaining shoe slots.
[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the shoe film mechanism includes a shoe film frame, a film rolling roller, a shoe film gear, a film cutting sheet, a heating rod, and a fan. The shoe film frame is fixedly installed on the frame body. The shoe film frame is a hollow cuboid with specific parameters of 200mm*340mm, leaving sufficient space for the shoe to fall. The shoe film frame has a shaft hole. The hollow structure of the shoe film frame is used to hold the shoe film and to allow the shoe to fall through the film from the middle of the frame. The film rolling roller is rotatably installed on the shaft hole. The shoe film gear is fixedly installed on the film rolling roller, and the bevel gear is used to drive the shoe through the shaft hole. The rotating film roller produces film; the cutting blade is used to cut the shoe film when the leather shoe is placed down. The cutting blade is made of stainless steel and the blade is made as sharp as possible. When the leather shoe falls, the sole hits the shoe film and the cutting blade cuts the shoe film. The shoe film is made of PVC, which is a high-strength and tough heat-shrinkable material that makes it easier to heat and provides better waterproofing and moisture resistance. The heating rod is fixedly installed on the shoe film rack. The heating rod needs to be between 30-40℃ to heat the shoe film without damaging the leather shoe due to excessive temperature.
[0052] During the conveying process, the shoe film roller begins to roll and release the film before the shoe reaches the shoe film mechanism. When the shoe is conveyed above the shoe film mechanism, the shoe film extends completely as it begins to fall. The shoe passes over the shoe film and falls with it. When the shoe falls, it presses on the shoe film and carries it to the cutting plate to cut the film. Because the weight of the shoe is greater than the weight of the shoe film, the shoe falls with the shoe film. Since the shoe film mechanism is a hollow mechanism, the relative position of the shoe film and the shoe does not change during the fall. During the fall, the shoe film is wrapped tightly with the shoe by the action of heating and blowing air. It should be noted that there are fans at both ends of the shoe film mechanism, but they are not blowing directly at each other. Instead, they are slightly offset at a certain angle to prevent the two fans from blowing at each other.
[0053] With this mechanism, as the shoe falls above the shoe film, gravity presses down on the film as it descends. During the descent, fans on both sides of the shoe film mechanism blow hot air, causing the film to adhere tightly to the shoe. The heating effect further secures the film to the shoe surface, thus better protecting the shoe from dust, oil, and other contaminants, extending its lifespan.
[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning frame, a clean water bucket, a washing water bucket, a cleaning linkage, a washing assembly, and an oil brush assembly. The cleaning frame is fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame body, and a cleaning slide rail is provided inside the cleaning frame. A water bucket plate is provided at the bottom of the cleaning frame. The contour recognition unit is fixedly installed on the cleaning frame and is used to determine the overall contour of the leather shoes. The clean water bucket and the washing water bucket are placed on the water bucket plate. The clean water bucket is used to transport water into the washing water bucket. The water in the clean water bucket is kept full by periodically adding water. The opening of the washing water bucket is large enough to allow the oil brush assembly to be placed inside the bucket. The cleaning linkage is slidably installed on the cleaning slide rail. The washing assembly is fixedly installed on the cleaning linkage. The washing assembly is first placed in the washing water bucket to clean the leather shoes before cleaning. The oil brush assembly is fixedly installed on the cleaning linkage.
[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the washing assembly includes a washing telescopic rod, a washing motor, and a washing turntable; the upper end of the washing telescopic rod is slidably mounted on the cleaning connecting rod; the upper end of the washing motor is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing telescopic rod; the washing turntable is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the washing motor; the cooperation between the washing telescopic rod and the cleaning connecting rod enables up-down and left-right movement, thereby improving the flexibility of the washing assembly and facilitating comprehensive cleaning of the leather shoes according to their contours.
[0056] like Figure 8As shown, the brush assembly includes a brush telescopic rod, a brush motor, and a brush turntable. The upper end of the brush telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the cleaning connecting rod. The brush motor is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the brush telescopic rod. The brush turntable is fixedly mounted on the brush motor. Through the cooperation of the brush telescopic rod and the cleaning connecting rod, the brush turntable can move up and down. The brush turntable has a shoe polish groove for holding shoe polish. The shoe polish outlet is aligned with the shoe polish so that the shoe polish is sprayed onto the outer shoe polish groove when the brush turntable rotates. This saves space and achieves the desired brushing effect.
[0057] like Figure 9 As shown, the upper conveying mechanism includes an upper conveyor frame, a turbine, a worm gear, a conveying gear, and an upper sliding plate. The worm gear is rotatably mounted on the frame. A slide rail is provided in the middle of the upper conveyor frame. The turbine is rotatably mounted on the upper conveyor frame and meshes with the worm gear. The conveying gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the worm gear and meshes with the shoe film gear. The rotation of the conveying gear's bevel teeth drives the shoe film gear to rotate, thereby driving the film roll to exit the film. The upper sliding plate is slidably mounted in the slide rail. The sliding of the upper sliding plate is used for the shoes to fall. In this way, the utilization rate of the motor is improved, and the film exiting mechanism can be driven by the linkage when the shoes are conveyed on the shoe rack.
[0058] like Figure 10 As shown, the lower conveying mechanism includes a lower conveying frame, a shoe rack, and a lower sliding plate. The lower conveying frame is slidably mounted on the frame, and the frame has a slide rail. The shoe rack is slidably mounted on the frame, and the shoe rack has a conveying rail. The conveying rail is used to adjust the height of the lower conveying frame relative to the shoe rack layer. The lower sliding plate is slidably mounted within the slide rail. The lower conveying frame's movement on the frame determines the shoe rack layer to which the lower conveying frame will go, and the shoe rack is used by the lower conveying frame to determine the placement position of the shoes on the shoe rack layer.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the shoe rack layer includes a shoe board, on which a gravity sensor is installed. The gravity sensor is used to detect whether there are leather shoes on the shoe board. Through this design, the information on whether there are leather shoes on each layer of the shoe board can be accurately transmitted to the control unit, so that when conveying leather shoes, it can accurately determine which shoe board still has shoe space, instead of using a fixed pattern to place the shoes in a designated position. This makes the shoe rack more intelligent and flexible.
[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the shoe film rack is equipped with a through-beam photoelectric sensor, which is used to detect whether the leather shoe has completely landed on the lower conveyor mechanism. Through this design, the heating time of the shoe film by the shoe film mechanism can be precisely controlled, which can reduce resource waste and make the shoe film mechanism more intelligent.
[0061] During operation, after shoes are removed and placed on the upper conveyor mechanism of the shoe rack, information is transmitted to the control unit via sensors. The upper conveyor mechanism then begins to move the shoes from the top to the bottom of the shoe rack. During this process, the shoes first pass through the cleaning mechanism and then through the shoe film mechanism. As the shoes pass through the cleaning mechanism, the surface of the shoes is cleaned and oiled, at which point the shoes are clean. As the shoes move from the top to the bottom of the shoe rack, they fall. During this fall, the shoes first pass through the shoe film mechanism, and as they fall, the shoe film falls with them. Due to gravity, the shoe film is cut by the film cutter. As the shoes and the shoe film fall, hot air is blown from both sides of the shoe film mechanism to make the shoe film adhere tightly to the shoes. After the shoes land on the lower conveyor mechanism, the shoe film mechanism stops blowing air, and the shoes continue to be moved to the lower shoe rack. They then find an empty shoe slot on the shoe plate layer and are placed in the rack by adjusting the shoe rack.
[0062] Example 2:
[0063] Example 1 describes an automated shoe care rack for leather shoes. With the continuous advancement of sensor technology, applying infrared sensors and an improved cutting blade to the shoe film mechanism allows for more precise and rapid cutting of the shoe film. Based on Example 1, this example requires some modifications. By adding an infrared sensor, we can accurately determine whether the leather shoe has fallen. At this point, the cutting blade controls its vertical extension and retraction based on the sensor information to cut the shoe film.
[0064] Therefore, this embodiment provides a self-controlled method for cutting shoe film by changing the film cutting method. Specifically, the film cutting sheet is fixedly installed on the shoe film rack, and the film is cut by telescopic movement, while the infrared sensor is fixedly installed on the shoe film rack.
[0065] When a user places their leather shoes on the upper conveyor of the shoe rack and activates the automatic care program, the shoes first pass through a cleaning mechanism for cleaning and polishing to ensure the shine and quality of the shoe surface. Then, the shoes are conveyed above a shoe film mechanism, where a thin film automatically extends to cover and protect the shoes. Once the shoes are completely covered, an infrared sensor detects that they have fallen, triggering a cutting disc to extend and quickly sever the shoe film, allowing the shoes to continue falling to the lower conveyor and finally be placed on the shoe rack.
[0066] Although the beneficial effects of the present invention have been shown in detail and embodiments have been provided in this specification, those skilled in the art can make various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
