Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed to indicate or imply relative importance.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a cover assembly for a shoe washing machine, which includes a cover base 1, a flap 2, a ventilation device 3, etc. The cover base 1 is suitable for being installed at the mouth of the washing bucket of the shoe washing machine, such as being connected to the mouth of the washing bucket by fasteners. The outer contour of the cover base 1 is circular, and a first opening 12 is provided in the central area. The size of the first opening 12 needs to meet the convenience of user operation. The flap 2 is hingedly connected to the cover base 1 for opening or closing the first opening 12. The ventilation device 3 is arranged on the cover base 1, and the ventilation device 3 can discharge the air in the shoe washing machine into the external environment.

[0040] Specifically, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the ventilation device 3 in this embodiment includes a shell 31 and a fan 32. The fan 32 is arranged inside the shell 31. When the power is turned on, the fan 32 can create a negative pressure environment above the shell 31, so that the air in the washing tub is automatically discharged to the outside. It should be noted that the power supply of the fan 32 can be AC ​​power or a battery, preferably a rechargeable battery. A first exhaust port 311 and a second exhaust port 312 are provided on the shell 31. The first exhaust port 311 is connected to the internal environment of the shoe washing machine, and the second exhaust port 312 is connected to the external environment. It should be noted that the exhaust here is for the washing tub. For the shell 31 itself, the first exhaust port 311 is actually the air inlet of the shell 31.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 31 in this embodiment is a square columnar structure comprising four vertically extending side walls (not labeled), a top wall (not labeled), and a bottom wall (not labeled). A first exhaust port 311 is formed on the bottom wall. The outline of the first exhaust port 311 can be any suitable shape, such as a square or a circle. The first exhaust port 311 is preferably located in the middle of the bottom wall. There may be multiple first exhaust ports 311, which may be spaced apart on the bottom wall.

[0042] The fan 32 includes a motor 321 and a fan blade 322 connected to the output end of the motor 321. The motor 321 and the fan blade 322 are both arranged in a chamber formed by the housing 31. The motor 321 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 31 by a connector or fastener. It is understood that the housing 31 should be a split structure.

[0043] Continue to refer Figures 2 to 5 The fan 32 is provided with a power port 3211, which is located at the top of the housing 31 and extends beyond the top surface of the housing 31. The power port 3211 is used to connect power to the motor 321. When the motor 321 is equipped with a battery, the power port 3211 can also serve as a charging port. The placement of the power port 3211 at the top of the housing 31 makes operation more convenient.

[0044] Continue to refer Figures 2 to 5 The shell 31 is detachably connected to the cover base 1. Specifically, the shell 31 is snap-fitted to the cover base 1 by means of a buckle. If the shell 31 includes an upper shell (not shown) and a lower shell (not shown) of a separate structure, the lower shell is provided with a buckle so that it can be snap-fitted to the cover base 1. After the motor 321 and the fan are installed, the upper shell and the lower shell can be connected to form an integral structure by means of bonding, snap-fitting, etc. The buckle is provided to achieve the snap-fitting of the shell 31 and the cover base 1, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the ventilation device 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the second exhaust port 312 is connected to the external environment. There may be multiple second exhaust ports 312 , and each second exhaust port 312 may be composed of several exhaust holes. Setting up multiple second exhaust ports 312 can exhaust in multiple directions, which is beneficial to improving ventilation efficiency.

[0046] Continue to refer Figures 2 to 5 An air intake structure 13 is also provided on the cover base 1, and the air intake structure 13 is constructed with an air intake cavity 131. The air intake cavity 131 is correspondingly provided with a first air inlet 1321 and a second air inlet 13311. The first air inlet 1321 is connected to the external environment, and the second air inlet 13311 is connected to the internal environment of the shoe washing machine.

[0047] Specifically, if Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the hood base 1 in this embodiment includes a main body member 11, a first attachment member 132 and a second attachment member 133, wherein the first attachment member 132, the second attachment member 133 and a portion of the main body member 11 together constitute the air intake structure 13 of the hood base 1. A second opening 111 is formed on the main body member 11, and the first attachment member 132 is detachably connected to the second opening 111. In this embodiment, the first attachment member 132 is connected to the second opening 111 by snapping. The first air inlet 1321 is formed on the first attachment member 132. Figure 8 As shown in , the first air inlet 1321 includes multiple air inlet holes (not marked) arranged side by side. In this embodiment, the first air inlet 1321 faces the direction of the ventilation device 3, that is, away from the user. The purpose of this arrangement is to enhance the visual effect during use and prevent the user from directly seeing multiple air inlet holes. It is understandable that the first air inlet 1321 can also face away from the ventilation device 3. Although this arrangement is not as visually effective as the previous arrangement, since the air inlet is facing away from the ventilation device 3, it can reduce the air inhaled from the second exhaust port 312 to a certain extent, thereby reducing ineffective air circulation.

[0048] The second attachment member 133 is detachably connected to the lower side of the main body member 11 and thus forms the air inlet cavity 131. Figure 3、 Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the second attachment member 133 is connected to the member body by a snap-fitting manner. The second attachment member 133 includes a side wall 1331 and a bottom wall corresponding to the air inlet cavity 131. The side wall 1331 is recessed toward the air inlet cavity 131 to form a plurality of spaced grooves 13312. The second air inlet 13311 is formed at the groove 13312. More specifically, the second air inlet 13311 is formed on the bottom wall of the groove 13312, that is, the opening on the groove 13312 is facing the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner bottom surface of the cover base 1 extends downward to form a water baffle 14, the side wall 1331 is arranged adjacent to the water baffle 14, and the water baffle 14 at least blocks a portion of the groove 13312, so that the air intake direction of the second air inlet 13311 is downward. The air intake direction of the second air inlet 13311 is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in .

[0049] Through the above arrangement, when the shoe washer is performing a washing operation, the water baffle 14 can effectively block water and foam within the shoe washer from entering the second air inlet 13311 without affecting air circulation, thereby preventing water from entering the air inlet chamber 131 and remaining therein, thereby avoiding the generation of odor and the breeding of bacteria due to accumulated water. In addition, by arranging the first air inlet 1321 on the first attachment member 132, it is not only beneficial to increase the air intake area of ​​the first air inlet 1321, thereby increasing the air intake volume, but also has the effect of preventing insects and foreign objects from entering. In addition, by arranging the second air inlet 13311 in the above manner, it is not only beneficial to improve the uniformity of air intake, but also to make the air intake direction approximately vertically downward, which helps fresh air better reach the bottom of the washing tub to replace the dirty air inside, thereby improving ventilation efficiency and ventilation effect.

[0050] The ventilation process of the cover assembly provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the negative pressure formed by the ventilation device 3 prompts the air in the shoe washing machine to be discharged to the external environment through the first exhaust port 311 and the second exhaust port 312 in sequence, the air pressure in the shoe washing machine will be relatively lower than the air pressure in the external environment. Under the action of the air pressure difference, the fresh air in the external environment can enter the internal environment of the shoe washing machine through the first air inlet 1321, the air inlet cavity 131 and the second air inlet 13311 in sequence, so that the air in the shoe washing machine remains dry and fresh, avoiding the generation of odor, the breeding of bacteria and other problems.

[0051] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides a shoe washing machine, which includes the cover assembly of any one of the above items.

[0052] It can be understood that since the shoe washing machine is equipped with the above-mentioned cover assembly, it has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned cover assembly, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, 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 invention.
