[0003] Common shoe dryers insert a drying unit into the shoes. During the drying process, the shoes are placed on the ground, creating a cluttered floor and poor air circulation near the ground, hindering quick drying of the shoes. Some shoe dryers also have a main body (base) and a drying arm that can rotate and rise relative to the main body. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218356167U discloses a shoe dryer with activated carbon, which includes a housing and a drying device. The drying device can rotate and rise relative to the housing. In this position, the shoes are elevated above the ground, providing better ventilation and facilitating quick drying. However, the housing is placed on the ground for drying, and shoe dryers are typically used at the entrance. Placing a shoe dryer on the ground can result in blocked access to the entrance. Furthermore, the shoe dryer requires dedicated storage for when not in use, making access inconvenient, leading to low usage rates. Summary of the Invention

[0027] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a shoe dryer includes a main body 100 and drying arms 200 rotatable on both sides of the main body 100. The main body 100 is provided with a main control circuit board, and the drying arms 200 are provided with a fan and a heating element. The main body 100 has a first end, and a plug slot is provided on the back of the main body 100 near the first end. A plug 300 is detachably provided in the plug slot. The plug 300 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board through a power cord. The back of the main body 100 is provided with a wire slot for storing the power cord. When the plug 300 is placed in the plug slot, the pins are arranged outward. Figure 4 As shown, in the wall-mounted position, the first end of the main body 100 faces upward. If a wall outlet is located on the wall where the shoe dryer is used, the plug 300 in the retracted position can be directly plugged into the wall outlet. In this wall-mounted position, neither the plug 300 nor the power cord are exposed, i.e., the plug 300 is concealed in the wall-mounted installation, which is highly aesthetically pleasing. When the shoes need to be dried, the drying arm 200 is simply rotated outward to a specified angle.

[0029] Reference Figures 6 to 10As shown, the main body 100 also has a second end, in which a rotating shaft 103 is rotatably installed. Both ends of the rotating shaft 103 pass through the body 100 and are fixedly connected to the drying arm 200. A limiting mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft 103 and the main body 100. The limiting mechanism includes a first state limiting mechanism for realizing the drying arm 200 in the folded state and a second state limiting mechanism for realizing the drying arm 200 in the expanded state.

[0030] Reference Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the main body 100 of the shoe dryer of the present invention also has a second end, within which a rotating shaft 103 is rotatably mounted. The two ends of this rotating shaft 103 pass through the side walls of the main body 100 and are fixedly connected to the drying arm 200, thereby enabling the rotation of the drying arm 200. To ensure the stability and safety of the drying arm 200 during use, a limit mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft 103 and the main body 100.

[0031] Reference Figures 6 to 10 As shown, this limiting mechanism has two main states: a first-state limiting mechanism and a second-state limiting mechanism. In the first state, the limiting mechanism ensures that the drying arms 200 are in a retracted state, that is, the two drying arms are tightly attached to the sides of the main body 100, making them easy to store and carry. In the second state, the limiting mechanism allows the drying arms 200 to be extended to a predetermined angle, ensuring that the drying arms 200 can fully extend into the shoes for optimal drying effect. This not only improves the practicality and flexibility of the shoe dryer, but also provides users with a more convenient and comfortable experience.

[0032] It also includes a wall-mounted bracket 400 fixedly mounted on the wall, and a mounting part 101 for connecting to the wall-mounted bracket 400 is provided on the back of the main body 100. The shoe dryer of the present invention is also equipped with a wall-mounted bracket 400. When there is no suitable wall socket at the location where the shoe dryer is installed, it is necessary to remove the plug 300 from the plug slot and connect the mounting part 101 on the back of the main body 100 to the wall-mounted bracket 400 pre-installed on the wall to achieve wall-mounting of the shoe dryer. Figure 5 As shown, in this wall-mounted state, the power cord and the plug 300 are both exposed, that is, the plug 300 is installed in an exposed wall-mounted manner.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the main body 100 has a second end opposite the first end. A stabilizing rod 102 is provided on the back of the main body 100 near the second end. Preferably, two stabilizing rods 102 are provided. When the plug 300 is mounted on the wall with the plug 300 concealed, the plug 300 and the two stabilizing rods 102 form a three-point support structure. When the plug 300 is mounted on the wall with the plug 300 exposed, the wall-mounting bracket 400 and the two stabilizing rods 102 form a three-point support structure, making the shoe dryer more stable when mounted on the wall.

[0034] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the first state limiting mechanism includes a first limiting block 104 arranged on the second end of the main body 100 and a first limiting surface arranged on the rotating shaft 103. The first limiting block 104 is located beside the rotating shaft 103 and toward the side of the first end. When the drying arm 200 is in the folded state, the first limiting surface contacts the first limiting block 104.

[0035] Specifically, the first-state limiting mechanism is a key design to ensure the shoe dryer remains stable when the drying arm 200 is in the folded state. The first-state limiting mechanism mainly comprises a first limiting block 104 provided on the second end of the main body 100 and a first limiting surface provided on the rotating shaft 103.

[0036] The first stopper 104 is mounted on the second end of the main body 100, beside the rotating shaft 103 and facing the first end of the main body 100. This position allows the first stopper 104 to effectively contact the first stopper surface on the rotating shaft 103 when the drying arm 200 is folded.

[0037] The first stop surface is a specific area on the rotating shaft 103 that ensures secure and reliable contact with the first stop block 104. When the drying arm 200 is rotated to the folded position, the first stop surface tightly contacts the first stop block 104, preventing the drying arm 200 from rotating in the opposite direction. This not only prevents the drying arm 200 from accidentally unfolding, but also ensures the stability and safety of the shoe dryer during storage or transportation.

[0038] Reference Figure 10 As shown, the second state limiting mechanism includes at least two second limiting blocks arranged on the second end of the main body 100 and two second limiting surfaces arranged on the rotating shaft 103. The second limiting block 105 is located beside the rotating shaft 103 and toward the side of the second end. When the drying arm 200 is in the expanded state, the second limiting surface contacts the second limiting block 105.

[0039] Specifically, the second-state limiting mechanism is another crucial component of the shoe dryer's design, ensuring that the drying arm 200 remains stably at a predetermined angle when extended, effectively performing the drying task. The second-state limiting mechanism primarily comprises at least two second limiting blocks 105 disposed on the second end of the main body 100 and two second limiting surfaces disposed on the rotating shaft 103.

[0040] The second stopper 105 is disposed beside the rotating shaft 103 and toward the second end of the main body 100. The position and number of the second stopper 105 are carefully calculated to ensure that when the drying arm 200 is extended to a predetermined angle, it can effectively contact the second stopper surface on the rotating shaft 103.
