Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a fully automatic household multi-functional shoe cleaning machine, including a housing 1, a sock washing mechanism 3 for washing socks fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the housing 1, a shoe brushing mechanism 6 for brushing shoes fixedly installed in the middle of the housing 1, a front door 8 hinged to the front of the housing 1, a water inlet pipe mechanism fixedly installed on one side of the top of the housing 1, a servo motor C7 fixedly installed on the back of the shoe brushing mechanism 6, and a wastewater backflow mechanism fixedly installed at the bottom of the shoe brushing mechanism 6.

[0030] In use, the mechanical system is set up for two-layer cleaning. The socks are agitated and cleaned in the sock washing mechanism 3, and the water from the socks flows into the shoe washing mechanism 6 for washing shoes. Following the principle of water flowing downhill, the upper sock washing layer can be designed to take up as little space as possible, so a top-opening impeller type cleaning is used. The lower shoe washing layer can be designed to be a side-opening drum type cleaning for easy access when washing shoes.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the water inlet pipe mechanism includes a water inlet pipe 2 and two branch pipes 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the water inlet pipe 2. A water inlet solenoid valve 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of each of the two branch pipes 4. One branch pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the sock washing mechanism 3, and the other branch pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the shoe brushing mechanism 6.

[0032] In use, the top of the water inlet pipe 2 is directly connected to the external tap water pipe. According to the set program, the corresponding water inlet solenoid valve 5 is opened, and clean water enters the sock washing mechanism 3 or the shoe brushing mechanism 6 to achieve automatic water supply.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the sock washing mechanism 3 includes a water bucket 31 and a spin tub 32 rotatably disposed in the middle of the water bucket 31. A servo motor A33 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the water bucket 31. An active bevel gear 34 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor A33. A clutch assembly 37 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the water bucket 31. A drive shaft 36 is installed in the middle of the clutch assembly 37. The top end of the drive shaft 36 passes through the spin tub 32 and is fixedly connected to a pulsator 38. A driven bevel gear 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive shaft 36. One side of the active bevel gear 34 meshes with one side of the driven bevel gear 35. A solenoid valve pipe 39 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom of the water bucket 31. A straight-through solenoid valve 310 is fixedly installed in the middle of the solenoid valve pipe 39.

[0034] During operation, the servo motor A33 operates while washing socks, driving the driven bevel gear 35 via the active bevel gear 34. This, in turn, drives the clutch assembly 37 via the drive shaft 36, which in turn activates the impeller 38, agitating and cleaning the socks inside the spin tub 32. During the spin-drying stage, the clutch friction disc and clutch rotating disc rotate synchronously under the action of the clutch assembly 37, and the connecting shaft of the clutch friction disc also rotates synchronously. The spin tub 32 also rotates synchronously. The synchronous rotation of the impeller 38 and the spin tub 32 achieves the desired spin-drying effect.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the shoe brushing mechanism 6 includes an outer barrel 61 and a shoe brushing roller 62 disposed inside the outer barrel 61. The inner wall of the shoe brushing roller 62 is provided with five evenly distributed brush plates 611. Evenly distributed shoe brushes 612 are fixedly disposed inside the brush plates 611. A connecting rod 69 is fixedly disposed outside the brush plates 611. A spur gear assembly for retracting the brush plates 611 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer barrel 61. A shoe rack assembly 63 is fixedly installed in the middle of the shoe brushing roller 62. Four clamp assemblies 634 for fixing shoes are installed on the shoe rack assembly 63.

[0036] The spur gear assembly includes a support frame 65, a servo motor B66 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the support frame 65, a gear disk 67 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor B66, an annular frame 64 is provided on the outside of the shoe brush roller 62, an arc groove 610 is opened on the surface of the annular frame 64, a connecting rod 69 is slidably disposed inside the arc groove 610, an arc rack 68 is fixedly disposed on the top of the annular frame 64, and the gear disk 67 is meshed on the arc rack 68;

[0037] The shoe rack assembly 63 includes a disc base 633, a main gear 635 is installed in the middle of the inner wall of the disc base 633, four planetary gears 637 are meshed on the outer side of the main gear 635, a clutch assembly 636 is fixedly installed on one side of the main gear 635, a roller compass 638 is fixedly installed on one side of the clutch assembly 636, an end cover 631 is installed on the back of the disc base 633, the output end of the servo motor C7 is fixedly installed on the roller compass 638, and a central brush rod 632 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the main gear 635.

[0038] In operation, the servo motor C7 provides power, which is transmitted through the roller compass 638 to the clutch assembly 636, and then to the main gear 635. Under the transmission action of the main gear 635, the planetary gear 637, as a fixed-axis gear train, also rotates at a certain speed. Under the meshing action of the gears, the sun gear of the roller compass also rotates, ultimately realizing the transmission of the roller compass. The combination of the two transmission methods can realize the rotation of the shoe clamp assembly 634 and the rotation of the roller compass. Forward rotation retracts the brush, at which time the shoes are being dehydrated or the washing machine has stopped working; reverse rotation uses the brush, at which time the shoes are being washed or rinsed. If the moving part of the brush is close to the center, it works together with the shoe washing transmission area to realize the washing or rinsing of the shoes. If the moving part of the brush is far from the center, at this time, dehydration may be in progress or the shoe washing work may have stopped.

[0039] See Figure 8 Furthermore, the clamp assembly 634 includes a telescopic rod 6342 and shoe molds 6341 fixedly disposed at both ends of the telescopic rod 6342. Two length-limiting ropes 6344 are fixedly disposed between the two shoe molds 6341. A spring 6343 is sleeved in the middle of the telescopic rod 6342. A connecting frame 6345 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the telescopic rod 6342. The connecting frame 6345 is fixedly disposed on the planetary gear 637.

[0040] When in use, before washing the shoes, squeeze the telescopic rod 6342 to retract it, insert the shoe mold 6341 into the user's shoes, and after releasing the telescopic rod 6342, the two shoe molds 6341 will open under the elastic force of the spring 6343, thereby fixing the shoes. The length of the two shoe molds 6341 is limited by the length-limiting rope 6344.

[0041] The wastewater backflow mechanism includes a sewage pipe 9 and a drain solenoid valve 10 fixedly installed in the middle of the sewage pipe 9.

[0042] In this embodiment, the washing, rinsing, or spin-drying of shoes and socks utilizes brushless motors, which offer higher energy efficiency, longer service life, a more compact design, lower noise, and higher reliability. The sock-washing servo motor A33 is model 92BL-2015H1-LK-B, with a rated power of 200W and a rated speed of 1500r / min; the servo motor C7 is model 92BL-6030H1-LK-B, with a rated power of 600W and a rated speed of 3000r / min. The AQMD_BLS series motor driver can control the motor's smooth forward and reverse rotation, commutation, and braking. Real-time output current adjustment prevents overcurrent, precisely controlling motor speed and rotation position. The motor has a short response time and low recoil force, automatic phase sequence adaptation, compatibility with multiple control signals and methods, high torque start-up, and safe overload protection.

[0043] The software configuration for the shoe washing machine includes an HX710b pneumatic module for water level control. A gas-filled water pipe connects to the drain outlet of the water tank, and the other end of the pipe connects to the pneumatic module for the water level sensor. As the water level rises, it compresses the gas, increasing the gas pressure, which in turn changes the output voltage of the HX710. It also outputs a switching signal to the solenoid valve. A buzzer, an electronic component that emits sound, is used to generate audible signals for warnings or alerts. This provides feedback to the user. An STM32 microcontroller is used for the control and operation of electronic devices and circuits. This device communicates with external devices such as sensors, actuators, and displays, and is used in embedded system development and sensor data processing. The A4988 driver features a converter and overcurrent protection, and can operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, and 1 / 16 step modes, with an output drive performance up to 35V. It includes a fixed-off-time current regulator that can operate in slow or mixed decay modes. The voice module utilizes voice recognition technology to convert voice signals into digital signals and performs related voice processing to achieve human-machine interaction. It communicates with the microcontroller via USART. This module has high-performance audio acquisition and processing capabilities, achieving high voice recognition accuracy. It allows users to control the operation of a multi-functional home shoe cleaner via voice. The device can be connected to a Wi-Fi wireless network for internet access. Users can control the cleaner via a mobile app. The HC-05 Bluetooth module (Bluetooth to USART) allows users to control or obtain information such as the operating status, running time, and water volume of the multi-functional home shoe cleaner through an app or WeChat mini-program.

[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
