Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Existing sterilizing shoe cabinets typically use fixed sterilization modes, relying primarily on single disinfection methods like UV lamps and ozone, lacking flexibility and intelligence. Shoes come in a variety of materials, each requiring different cleaning and sterilization requirements. Existing shoe cabinets cannot tailor sterilization to the specific conditions of each shoe, resulting in suboptimal sterilization results.

[0037] Therefore, please refer to Figure 1 , is a shoe cabinet according to one embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the shoe cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, which defines a storage space. The storage space is divided into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102, which are independent of each other. The first chamber 101 is used to store shoes, while the second chamber 102 is used to house care devices for shoe disinfection, drying, and other purposes.

[0038] Furthermore, a weight detection element, such as a gravity sensor, is installed on the partition of the first chamber 101 to detect the weight of the shoes. By detecting the weight of the shoes, the shoe cabinet controller can obtain approximate information such as the size, material, and quantity of the shoes. This data will facilitate intelligent management of the shoe cabinet and optimize the sterilization plan.

[0039] For example, when the shoe cabinet is in disinfection mode, if the detection value obtained by the gravity detection element is large, it may mean that winter boots or thicker adult sports shoes are stored therein, or there are a large number of shoes.

[0040] In this case, the controller will automatically analyze the detected weight information and evaluate the required sterilization time and intensity. Through the preset algorithm, it determines the most appropriate disinfection parameters to avoid excessive or insufficient disinfection and ensure the effectiveness of the disinfection effect.

[0041] Furthermore, a steam generator 11 is provided in the second chamber 102 of the shoe cabinet. The steam generator 11 can contain liquid or water with a disinfecting function. The steam generator 11 converts the liquid into high-temperature steam through a heating process. The steam has strong penetration and disinfecting effect, and can effectively kill bacteria and viruses inside the shoes.

[0042] To deliver hot steam to the first chamber 101, a first pipe 110 is provided between the steam generator 11 and the first chamber 101. Through this pipe, the system can promptly deliver the generated hot steam to the first chamber 101, directly applying it to the stored shoes for deep cleaning and disinfection. The hot steam not only penetrates the various materials of the shoes but also helps remove stubborn stains and odors.

[0043] Furthermore, a first control valve 111 is provided in the first pipeline 110 , and the first control valve 111 is in communication with the controller.

[0044] Specifically, when the shoe cabinet enters the disinfection mode, the controller will make a preliminary judgment on the type and quantity of shoes in the first chamber 101 based on the weight detection value provided by the gravity detection element, and control the opening of the first control valve 111 to adjust the steam delivery volume and delivery time, thereby accurately controlling the amount of steam entering the first chamber 101.

[0045] For example, when it is detected that the weight detection value in the first chamber 101 is large, the controller will open the first control valve 111 to a greater extent accordingly, allowing more hot steam to flow in, so as to ensure that the shoes can fully absorb the steam for in-depth cleaning and disinfection; and if it is detected that the weight detection value in the first chamber 101 is small, the controller may appropriately reduce the opening of the first control valve 111 and adjust the steam flow to avoid material damage due to excessive exposure of the shoes to the steam environment.

[0046] In this way, shoes of different materials and quantities can receive more targeted care. For example, when it is detected that heavy winter boots or a large number of shoes are stored in the first chamber 101, the controller will automatically adjust the steam treatment time and jet volume, perhaps requiring a longer steam jet time and a larger jet volume to ensure that the boots can fully absorb the hot steam for deep cleaning and disinfection.

[0047] Relatively speaking, when it is detected that the shoes are lighter children's shoes or sports shoes, the controller will shorten the steam spray time and reduce the jet volume accordingly to avoid excessive steam treatment causing material damage or deformation of the shoes.

[0048] Through this intelligent adjustment, the shoe cabinet can implement personalized care strategies for different types of shoes, which not only ensures the disinfection effect, but also effectively extends the service life of the shoes and protects their materials from damage.

[0049] In one embodiment, a drying device 12 is provided in the second chamber 102, and the drying device 12 is connected to the first chamber 101 via a second pipe 120. The drying device 12 can deliver hot air to the first chamber 101, thereby drying the stored shoes and removing any moisture that may remain in the shoes during the cleaning and steam sterilization process.

[0050] By using the drying device 12, users can quickly dry their shoes after washing or disinfecting, shortening the waiting time, thereby improving the efficiency of shoe care and providing users with a more convenient and comprehensive usage experience.

[0051] In addition, hot air drying can better maintain the shape of the shoes and prevent deformation or mold caused by moisture.

[0052] An implementation, reference Figure 1A plurality of support frames 15 are disposed within the first chamber 101 to support the shoes. Each support frame 15 is designed as a hollow structure, which is in communication with both the first pipe 110 and the second pipe 120. The surface of the support frame 15 is provided with a plurality of through holes 150. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of through holes 150 are evenly distributed on the surface of the support frame 15.

[0053] Specifically, when the shoes need to be cared for, they can be placed on the support frame 15, so that hot steam or hot air will enter the inside of the shoes through the through holes 150, thereby effectively disinfecting and drying the inside of the shoes.

[0054] In addition, if the surface of the shoes needs to be treated, they can be placed directly on the partition in the first chamber 101. At this time, hot steam or hot air will enter the first chamber 101 through the through hole 150, thereby sterilizing and drying the surface of the shoes.

[0055] Furthermore, the shoe cabinet is provided with a third pipeline 130 and a branch pipeline 100 connected to the third pipeline 130 to simplify the pipeline connection between the second chamber 102 and the first chamber 101, thereby achieving more efficient steam sterilization and hot air drying.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 The third pipeline 130 and the plurality of branch pipelines 100 are all disposed in the second chamber 102. Specifically, one end of the branch pipelines 100 is connected to each support frame 15 in a one-to-one correspondence, while the other ends converge together and connect to the first end of the third pipeline 130. The outlet ends of the first pipeline 110 and the second pipeline 120 also converge together and communicate with the second end of the third pipeline 130.

[0057] With this pipeline design, hot steam ejected from the first pipeline 110 can be quickly delivered to each support frame 15 through the third pipeline 130 and the branch pipeline 100, ensuring that the steam is evenly ejected from the through holes 150 on the surface of the support frame 15, effectively disinfecting the shoes. Similarly, hot air ejected from the second pipeline 120 can also enter the support frame 15 through the third pipeline 130 and the branch pipeline 100, and be ejected through the through holes 150 for drying.

[0058] This design not only enhances the overall cleaning and care of the shoes, but also ensures that the hot steam and hot air can fully penetrate the interior of the shoes, improving the efficiency of disinfection and drying. At the same time, the structural design of the hollow support frame 15 and the through hole 150 also helps to prevent material damage caused by localized water accumulation or moisture, thereby extending the service life of the shoes and helping them maintain their good condition.

[0059] In one embodiment, a one-way valve 121 is further provided in the second pipeline 120. The main function of the one-way valve 121 is to allow hot air to flow from the second pipeline 120 to the first chamber 101, while preventing the hot steam in the first pipeline 110 from flowing back into the drying device 12, thereby ensuring the drying effect and preventing damage to the drying device 12.

[0060] In another embodiment, a second control valve (not shown) is provided in the second pipeline 120. The second control valve is in communication with a controller, and the controller adjusts the opening of the second control valve according to the detection value of the weight detection element, thereby accurately controlling the amount of hot air entering the first chamber 101.

[0061] By monitoring the weight of the shoes in real time, the controller automatically adjusts the hot air flow rate to suit the varying demands of the shoe drying process. This not only improves drying efficiency but also reduces energy waste. Furthermore, maintaining an appropriate hot air flow prevents damage to the shoe material, extending its lifespan and enhancing the user experience.

[0062] In one embodiment, the drying device 12 comprises a fan 122 and a heating device 123 connected to its output end. The fan 122 primarily feeds air into the heating device 123. After being heated by the heating device 123, the hot air enters the first chamber 101 through the second conduit, thereby effectively drying the shoes.

[0063] Furthermore, a first vent (not shown in the figure) is provided on the cabinet 1, and the first vent is connected to the second chamber 102. The input end of the fan 122 is close to the first vent, so that more fresh air can enter the heating device 123 through the fan 122, thereby improving the working efficiency of the drying device 12.

[0064] In one embodiment, the cabinet 1 is further provided with a second ventilation port (not shown in the figure), which is communicated with the first chamber 101 , so as to help discharge moisture and odor in the first chamber 101 .

[0065] Furthermore, the coordinated design of the first vent and the second vent can further enhance the effect of the entire air circulation system.

[0066] The first vent draws in fresh air, while the second vent expels unhealthy gases and moisture. This alternating air flow not only improves the cabinet's ventilation efficiency but also ensures continuous air exchange, reducing odors while maintaining a dry, fresh environment inside the cabinet.

[0067] In one embodiment, taking into account the problem that the water tank of the steam generating device 11 may have limited capacity or be inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, a liquid storage device 14 is further provided in the second chamber 102 of this embodiment, which is connected to the steam generating device 11 through a fourth pipe 140. The liquid storage device 14 is used to provide liquid to the steam generating device 11, so that the steam generating device 11 can continuously obtain the required liquid during operation, whether it is water or other liquids (such as disinfectant), so as to be able to effectively generate steam for disinfection or other processes.

[0068] Furthermore, a third control valve 141 is provided in the fourth pipeline 140 and is in communication with the controller. The controller adjusts the opening of the third control valve 141 according to the feedback detection value of the weight detection element to control the amount of liquid entering the steam generating device 11.

[0069] This automated adjustment method can intelligently and accurately adjust the liquid supply according to the weight of the shoes and the need for disinfection, to ensure that the steam generating device 11 always operates in the best condition, effectively generates the appropriate amount of steam, and ensures the disinfection effect.

[0070] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor 142 is provided in the liquid storage device, which is responsible for monitoring the liquid level in real time. When the liquid level is lower than a preset value, the liquid level sensor 142 sends a signal to the controller to instruct the third control valve to automatically close.

[0071] This design not only effectively prevents dry-burning and other malfunctions in the steam generator due to insufficient liquid, but also protects the normal operation of the device and extends its service life. Furthermore, through this automatic monitoring and control mechanism, users no longer need to constantly monitor the liquid level, improving the convenience and safety of the shoe cabinet and enhancing the user experience.

[0072] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
