Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shoe cabinet furniture, in particular to a tipper shoe cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] The tipper shoe cabinet occupies small floor area and can accommodate a large number of shoes, which is suitable for small households or families with limited space. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is a common tipper shoe cabinet in the prior art, the main mechanism is a cabinet body 10 and a tipper 20, the tipper is composed of 2-3 wedge-shaped shoe storage spaces, the outer surface of the tipper 20 is provided with a tipper handle 22, when the tipper 20 is turned outward by the tipper handle 22, the shoe storage space is unfolded, and the user can select or place shoes. The sealing top cover 12 of the cabinet body can be used as a stool, so that the user can sit down to change shoes, and the comfort is higher. However, such tipper shoe cabinets have the following disadvantages: (1) Although the shoe storage capacity in the same space is higher, the positioning for small household families makes the total shoe storage capacity not as good as that of a large shoe cabinet; (2) The space above the tipper is often not fully utilized; (3) It is easy to get dirty, and all the shoes will be exposed when the door is opened, which is easy to get dust and dirt; (4) The bottom of the shoe storage space is easy to accumulate dirt from the soles, which is easy to breed bacteria and inconvenient to clean.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN109349814A discloses a tipper shoe cabinet, which is provided with three layers of tippers in the vertical direction, so that the shoe storage capacity is greatly improved. Secondly, it installs an ultraviolet lamp in the space above the tipper, which can sterilize the shoes. This scheme solves the first two shortcomings to some extent. In addition, the scheme also provides a drying device on the side of the cabinet body. The drying device includes a PTC heating body and a fan, and the hot air generated enters the cabinet body to dry the shoes. The shoe cabinet disclosed in Chinese patent document CN108183938A uses a fan to enhance air circulation in the shoe cabinet to remove odors in the shoe cabinet.

[0004] The prior art also proposes a technical scheme for cleaning the shoe surface in the shoe cabinet, such as Chinese patent document CN106824109A, which discloses a shoe cabinet with a cleaning function. The dust and stains on the soles are brushed off by using a brush, and the dust on the surface of the shoes is wiped off by using a sponge, achieving the effect of cleaning the shoe surface and the soles. The intelligent shoe cabinet with a shoe wiping mechanism disclosed in Chinese patent document CN112283880A also uses a rotating brush to complete the automatic shoe wiping function. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tipper shoe cabinet that fully utilizes the space inside the cabinet body, which can clean the surface of the shoes in the wedge-shaped shoe storage space by wind power and smoothly guide the blown dust out of the cabinet body.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] Flip-down shoe cabinet, including

[0008] The cabinet has a tipping channel on its side for the tipping bucket to be opened, and a sealed top cover;

[0009] The tipping bucket is movably connected to the inside of the cabinet and can be moved to the outside of the cabinet through the tipping bucket channel. The tipping bucket forms several wedge-shaped shoe storage spaces.

[0010] The fan provides airflow to the inside of the cabinet, and the cabinet is equipped with a fan switch and an air outlet.

[0011] The tipping bucket has a dust outlet slit at its bottom, and each shoe storage compartment has a dust outlet slit to exhaust dust from the bottom of the shoe storage compartment; it also includes

[0012] A horizontally arranged partition layer is located inside the cabinet; when the tipper is inside the cabinet, one side of the partition layer abuts against one side of the tipper, dividing the internal space of the cabinet into an upper internal space and a lower internal space; the fan is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet, located in the upper internal space and opposite the top of the tipper.

[0013] A dust collection trough, located in the lower interior space of the cabinet, is used to collect dust discharged from the dust outlet.

[0014] The inventive concept of this invention lies in the following: A dust outlet slit is provided at the bottom of the tipping bucket. Regardless of whether the fan is on or off, since the tipping bucket is generally tilted, the dust accumulated at the bottom can fall out through the dust outlet slit. When the fan is on, the dust removal is even smoother. Secondly, the fan is directly installed inside the cabinet and directly facing the top of the tipping bucket, which is the upper front of the tipping bucket. This location has been rarely utilized in existing technologies. This application places the fan here, allowing it to directly blow air onto the shoes inside the tipping bucket, and the blown-off dust ultimately enters the dust collection trough through the dust outlet slit. Thirdly, due to the presence of the partition layer and the air outlet, the dust in the dust collection trough is generally not blown up again when the fan is blowing air.

[0015] As an improvement, the dust collection trough is located on the side away from the dust outlet slit, which reduces the probability that the wind force of the fan will stir up the dust in the dust collection trough again. In order to allow the dust discharged from the dust outlet slit to smoothly enter the dust collection trough, a guide slope is provided between the dust outlet slit and the dust collection trough, so that the dust can slide down the guide slope.

[0016] As a further improvement, the air outlet is positioned between the guide slope and the partition layer. This design facilitates the dust discharged from the dust outlet joint to slide down the guide slope into the dust collection trough, while further reducing the probability that the wind force of the fan will stir up the dust in the dust collection trough again.

[0017] As an improvement, the sealing top cover is designed to be separate from the cabinet body, with the sealing top cover having an insertion end that inserts into the top of the cabinet body. This design allows for easy separation of the sealing top cover from the cabinet body for cleaning or maintenance of the cabinet's interior space.

[0018] As an improvement, the cabinet is equipped with ultraviolet disinfection lamps on its inner wall, which can disinfect the shoes inside the cabinet as needed.

[0019] As an improvement, a seat cushion is fixed to the top of the sealed top cover to enhance user comfort when sitting on it.

[0020] As a further improvement, the seat cushion is designed in two halves, with each side hinged to a sealed top cover, allowing the two halves to be flipped up symmetrically. The seat cushion is equipped with a shelf, which includes an extension end and a receiving end, both hinged to the bottom of the seat cushion. The extension and receiving ends, when connected, form a horizontal shelf. When there are many shoes, the seat cushion's seating function can be sacrificed, and the cushion can be unfolded to form a support for placing shoes.

[0021] In summary, this invention improves the internal space of the flip-top shoe cabinet, utilizing wind power to clean shoe surfaces, and the dust blown down by the wind is less likely to be stirred up again. Secondly, the seat cushion on top of the sealed lid can be transformed into a shoe rack, increasing shoe capacity vertically as the number of shoes increases, making it suitable for use in small apartments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the flip-top shoe cabinet described in this solution has a rectangular cabinet body 10. The cabinet body 10 has a flip-top channel 11 on its side for the flip-top 20 to flip out. The flip-top 20 is movably connected to the interior of the cabinet body 10 and can be moved to the outside of the cabinet body 10 via the flip-top channel 11. The flip-top 20 forms two wedge-shaped shoe storage spaces, and there are generally 2-4 wedge-shaped shoe storage spaces. Unlike existing flip-top 20 designs, the flip-top 20 has a dust outlet slit 21 at its bottom, with each shoe storage space having a dust outlet slit 21 to remove dust from the bottom of the storage space. The inner wall of the flip-top 20 can also be provided with anti-slip ridges to allow airflow over the shoe surface. One to three fans 30 are installed inside the cabinet body 10 to provide airflow. To improve the blowing effect, the fans 30 are directly fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet body 10 and located above and in front of the flip-top 20, powered by batteries or directly connected to mains power. The fan switch 31, connected to the fan 30 via a wire, is located on the side of the cabinet 10 for easy operation. An air outlet 32 ​​and an air inlet are also provided on the side of the cabinet 10 for convenient air intake and exhaust. The air inlet is located on the side wall where the fan 30 is installed, and can also be connected to the external space of the cabinet 10 via a pipe. The fan 30 can also be equipped with a heating function to achieve a drying function; for details, please refer to the drying device in Chinese patent document CN109349814A. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 60 is also installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 10, and the disinfection lamp switch 61 of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 60 is located below the fan switch 31. It should be noted that the electrical control methods of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 60, the electrical control methods of the fan 30 and its auxiliary heating function, and the placement of the air inlet and outlet are common knowledge and will not be elaborated further.

[0034] The top of the cabinet 10 has a sealing top cover 12, which is separately set from the cabinet 10. The sealing top cover 12 has an insertion end 121 that inserts into the top of the cabinet 10 to temporarily fix the two together. A seat pad 70 is fixed to the top of the sealing top cover 12.

[0035] The cabinet 10 has a horizontally arranged partition layer 40 inside. When the tipper 20 is inside the cabinet 10, one side of the partition layer 40 abuts against one side of the tipper 20, dividing the internal space of the cabinet 10 into an upper internal space and a lower internal space. The fan 30 is located in the upper internal space and is opposite to the top of the tipper 20. The air outlet 32 ​​is located in the area of ​​the lower internal space. The lower internal space also has a dust collection trough 50 for receiving dust discharged from the dust outlet slit 21, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it is an L-shaped strip with a dust collection tray handle 51 at one end to facilitate pulling the dust collection tray 50 out of the cabinet 10. Figure 6 As shown, the dust collection trough 50 is located on the side away from the dust outlet slit 21, and a guide slope 13 is provided between the dust outlet slit 21 and the dust collection trough 50. The height of the air outlet 32 ​​is between the guide slope 13 and the partition layer 40.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the seat cushion 70 is designed in two halves, i.e., it has two buttock positions. The sides of the seat cushion 70 are hinged to the sealing top cover 12, allowing the two halves of the seat cushion 70 to be symmetrically flipped up. The seat cushion 70 is equipped with a shelf 80, which includes an extension end 81 and a receiving end 82, which are respectively hinged to the bottom of the seat cushion 70. After the two halves of the seat cushion 70 are symmetrically flipped up, the extension end 81 is extended so that its end is inserted into the receiving end 82. The end of the receiving end 82 is also provided with a locking bolt 83 for fixing the extension end 81 inserted therein. The extension end 81 and the receiving end 82 are connected to form a horizontal shelf 80. The extension end 81 can be 5-10 cylindrical strips, and the receiving end 82 is a cylindrical strip adapted to the extension end 81. The gap between each cylindrical strip can be 4-8 cm. The shoes can be placed not only on the formed shelf 80, but also inserted into the gaps between the cylindrical strips. The extending end 81 can also be 3-5 plates, and the receiving end 82 is a plate adapted to the extending end 81. This is an obvious variation.
