Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a duct structure for a shoe cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] A shoe cabinet is a piece of furniture used to store shoes. It's typically a storage cabinet used to organize and preserve shoes for easy retrieval and storage. Shoe cabinets usually have multiple layers or shelves to hold multiple pairs of shoes and may be equipped with dividers or partitions to separate shoes. Shoes placed in a shoe cabinet can breed bacteria due to the dark and damp environment.
[0003] Patent application CN215837772U discloses an intelligent shoe cabinet system that uses a blower and air duct to dry the shoes inside the cabinet, thereby solving the problem of damp shoes.
[0004] In the aforementioned existing technology, since the length of the air duct is fixed, it can only dry shoes of a fixed height internally. Many women's tall boots are quite high, and the boot shaft is generally made of leather, elastic fabric, and suede. This causes the boot shaft, made of elastic fabric and suede, to tend to tilt when the boots are placed inside the shoe cabinet (due to the poor hardness of elastic fabric and suede). As a result, the air blown out of the air duct cannot flow into the inside of the boot, leading to poor airflow drying effect of the air duct for shoes of different heights. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a duct structure for shoe cabinets, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a duct structure for a shoe cabinet, comprising:
[0007] The shoe cabinet has multiple support plates fixedly installed inside to support the shoes;
[0008] A blower is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shoe cabinet, and a transmission pipe is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the blower. The inner wall of the shoe cabinet away from its own opening end has a groove that matches the transmission pipe. Multiple air guide pipes that communicate with its own inner cavity are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission pipe along the vertical direction.
[0009] The flexible hose is detachably installed on the air duct closest to the blower. A support tube is fixedly installed on the end of the flexible hose away from the air duct. The support tube is equipped with clamping parts for clamping the high boot.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] Multiple air ducts are designed with an L-shaped structure, and multiple air ducts and multiple slides are staggered. The bottom of multiple slides is provided with receiving grooves, and the outer wall of the air ducts and the inner wall of the receiving grooves are fixedly connected.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] A connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the telescopic hose. An installation ring is fixedly sleeved at the end of the connecting pipe away from the telescopic hose and at the end of the air guide pipe away from the transmission pipe. Multiple installation holes are distributed in a ring on the outer wall of the installation ring, and limit bolts can be detachably installed in the inner cavity of the multiple installation holes.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The clamping component includes a mounting block and a clamping block. Mounting blocks are symmetrically installed at the top edge of the support tube. A sliding groove is opened at one end of the mounting block near the outer wall of the support tube. The clamping block is elastically installed in the inner cavity of the sliding groove.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The clamping block is designed with an L-shaped structure, and the end of the clamping block away from the sliding groove points to the bottom of the support tube.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model is a duct structure for a shoe cabinet, comprising: a shoe cabinet 1, a blower 6, and a telescopic hose 4.
[0031] The shoe cabinet 1 has multiple shoe support trays 2 fixedly installed inside its cavity. Both ends of the trays 2 are connected to the inner wall of the shoe cabinet 1 to support the trays 2. Shoes can be placed on top of the trays 2 for support (this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here).
[0032] The blower 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shoe cabinet 1, and a transmission pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the blower 6. Multiple transmission pipes 7 are installed vertically inside the shoe cabinet 1. The bottom of the multiple transmission pipes 7 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the blower 6. The air around the blower 6 can be compressed through the air inlet of the blower 6, and the compressed air is transmitted to the inside of the transmission pipe 7 through the air outlet.
[0033] A heating wire is installed at the air outlet of the blower 6, which can heat the compressed air entering the transmission pipe 7.
[0034] The inner wall of the shoe cabinet 1 away from its opening end has a groove that matches the transmission pipe 7. Multiple grooves are formed on the inner wall of the shoe cabinet 1 away from its opening end along the vertical direction. The number of grooves is the same as the number of transmission pipes 7. At the same time, the outer wall of the transmission pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove for positioning the transmission pipe 7 and improving the stability of the transmission pipe 7.
[0035] Multiple air ducts 3 connected to the inner cavity of the transmission pipe 7 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission pipe 7 along the vertical direction. The compressed air entering the transmission pipe 7 flows to the inside of the shoe cabinet 1 through the air ducts 3. The air entering the shoe cabinet 1 flows to the inside of the shoe through the shoe opening, thereby accelerating the air flow rate inside the shoe and heating the inside of the shoe, which is beneficial for dehumidifying the inside of the shoe.
[0036] Multiple air ducts 3 are all designed with an L-shaped structure. The end of the air duct 3 away from the transmission pipe 7 points to the bottom of the shoe cabinet 1, so that the air flowing inside the air duct 3 can directly act on the outside of the shoes.
[0037] Multiple air ducts 3 and multiple slide plates 2 are staggered together. Each slide plate 2 has a receiving groove at its bottom. The outer wall of the air duct 3 and the inner wall of the receiving groove are fixedly connected. The receiving groove can connect the outer wall of the air duct 3 to the bottom of the slide plate 2, thereby improving the stability of the air duct 3.
[0038] The flexible hose 4 is detachably installed on the air duct 3 closest to the blower 6. A support pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the flexible hose 4 away from the air duct 3. A clamping device for holding the boot is provided on the outside of the support pipe 5. The boot is placed directly below the flexible hose 4, and then the flexible hose 4 is pulled until the support pipe 5 enters the boot shaft through the opening of the boot. Then, the clamping device clamps the opening of the boot shaft until the inner wall of the boot shaft is in contact with the outer wall of the support pipe 5 to position the boot shaft and prevent it from tipping over. This allows the compressed air inside the air duct 3 to directly enter the boot shaft, improving the air guiding and drying effect for shoes of different heights.
[0039] The support tube 5 is made of polyethylene material, which can reduce the weight of the support tube 5 and prevent the free end of the telescopic hose 4 from continuing to extend due to the excessive weight of the support tube 5, thus causing the boot to collapse.
[0040] According to the above embodiments, the telescopic hose 4 is generally made of PVC material. PVC material has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, good heat insulation, light weight, and strong acid and alkali resistance. However, it is easily affected by low temperature and may become brittle and break. When the shoe cabinet 1 is used in a colder region and the blower 6 stops working, the outer wall of the telescopic hose 4 is prone to becoming brittle and breaking. This makes it easy for compressed air to leak when it enters the boot through the telescopic hose 4, thereby reducing the air flow rate inside the boot and the drying efficiency of the boot.
[0041] The clamping component includes a mounting block 9 and a clamping block 10. Mounting blocks 9 are symmetrically mounted on the top edge of the support tube 5. A sliding groove is formed at one end of the mounting block 9 near the outer wall of the support tube 5. The clamping block 10 is elastically mounted within the inner cavity of the sliding groove. A compression spring 11 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove away from its opening. The other end of the compression spring 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping block 10. The compression spring 11 can provide continuous movement of the clamping block 10 into the sliding groove.
[0042] The clamping block 10 is designed with an L-shaped structure, and the end of the clamping block 10 away from the sliding groove points to the bottom of the support tube 5. Under the action of the compression spring 11, the outer wall of the clamping block 10 and the outer wall of the support tube 5 are tightly fitted together. Before the support tube 5 is inserted into the boot cylinder, the end of the clamping block 10 away from the sliding groove is pulled, and then the support tube 5 is pulled until the support tube 5 is inserted into the boot cylinder. Then the pulling force on the clamping block 10 is released, and the compression spring 11 is contracted until the outer wall of the clamping block 10 and the outer wall of the boot cylinder are tightly fitted together, thus realizing the connection between the outer wall of the support tube 5 and the inner wall of the boot cylinder.
[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the flexible hose 4. Mounting rings 8 are fixedly fitted onto both the end of the connecting pipe furthest from the flexible hose 4 and the end of the air duct 3 furthest from the transmission pipe 7. Multiple mounting holes are arranged in a ring on the outer wall of each mounting ring 8. Limiting bolts can be detachably installed within the cavities of these mounting holes. When connecting the bottom of the flexible hose 4 to the connecting pipe, one end of each of the two mounting rings 8 is in contact with each other. Simultaneously, limiting bolts are installed inside the multiple mounting holes. A limiting nut is installed on the small end of each limiting bolt. The small end of the limiting nut is in contact with the end of one of the mounting rings 8, while the large end of the limiting bolt is in contact with the end of the other mounting ring 8. By compressing the two mounting rings 8 with the limiting bolts and the limiting nut, the connection between the flexible hose 4 and the connecting pipe is achieved. Simultaneously, a relative seal between the two mounting rings 8 is ensured, preventing leakage of compressed air inside the flexible hose 4 at the connection point of the two mounting rings 8.
[0044] When disassembling the telescopic hose 4, first separate the top of the telescopic hose 4 from one end of the air duct 3, and then use a tool to continuously rotate the limiting nut until the limiting nut and the limiting bolt are separated to disassemble the telescopic hose 4.
[0045] The top of the telescopic hose 4 and one end of the air duct 3 are connected by a U-shaped clamp. When separating the telescopic hose 4 from the air duct 3, the U-shaped clamp can be removed from the outside of the telescopic hose 4 (this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here).
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
