Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boot drying technology, and in particular to a self-service, single-control intelligent boot drying cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] The rain boots worn by workers in factories and mines are now rarely cleaned. The boots become damp, dirty, and smelly inside. Workers can only let them air dry on top of cabinets or windowsills, but the inside never truly dries. This damp environment easily breeds bacteria, leading to athlete's foot among many workers. Cleaning the boots is also difficult because the inside is hard to dry, affecting their ability to work the next day. Therefore, workers are now reluctant to clean their rain boots for the sake of their jobs.
[0003] Existing drying equipment uses a centralized drying method. When only one station needs to work, all stations need to be started, and it is impossible to control a single station to start drying. This method causes unnecessary energy waste and greatly increases the cost for enterprises. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a self-service, single-control intelligent boot dryer.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A self-service, single-control intelligent shoe drying cabinet includes a shoe drying assembly, which includes a cabinet body. The cabinet body has several drying chambers, and several sets of sealed doors are installed on one side of the cabinet body. The size and position of the sealed doors are adapted to the drying chambers. The inner wall of the cabinet body is provided with partitions, and the position of the partitions is adapted to the drying chambers. A heating chamber and an ozone sterilization and disinfection device are installed on one side of the partitions. Several sets of heating chambers are provided, and a placement rack is connected to one end of the heating chamber. The placement rack has a hollow design and one end is connected to the inside of the drying chamber. A drying fan is connected to one side of the heating chamber. Several sets of cover plates are installed on one side of the cabinet body. A recognition component for facial recognition and a control component for adjustment are provided on one side of the cabinet body.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the recognition component includes a face recognition device, which is disposed on one side of the cabinet. A speaker is disposed on one side of the cabinet, and the face recognition device is equipped with a face recognition system.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the control component includes a control panel, which is installed on the outer wall of one side of the cabinet, has a protective film, and is equipped with an intelligent control system.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom of the cabinet is equipped with casters, and several sets of casters are provided.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the cabinet has several cavities, and inspection doors are provided in the cavities.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: a drain pipe is provided inside the cabinet, and the partition has several sets of drain holes connected to the drain pipe.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the cabinet is provided with several sets of openings, and a dehumidification fan is installed through the openings.
[0013] In other embodiments of the present invention, a drying method for the self-service single-control intelligent boot drying cabinet is also provided. After washing the rain boots and shaking off the water, the boot drying cabinet is opened by facial recognition. The boots and socks are placed on the drying station, the cabinet door is closed, the ozone sterilization and disinfection device is automatically activated, the heating and drying function is automatically activated after the sterilization time is completed, the drying time is automatically turned off, the cabinet door is automatically opened by facial recognition, the rain boots and socks are taken away and the cabinet door is closed.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. By setting up multiple drying chambers to avoid centralized drying of rain boots, the drying efficiency can be effectively increased. At the same time, the design of multiple heating chambers and drying fans can dry individual drying chambers, thereby realizing single-station start-up control. Depending on the placement of the rain boots, a certain group of heating chambers and drying fans can be controlled to start and dry the rain boots in the drying chamber. The drying efficiency is high, while solving the problem that existing technologies cannot control the start-up of a single station for drying, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and greatly reducing enterprise costs.
[0016] 2. The control panel allows you to view the current cabinet door availability and the remaining drying time for each drying chamber, making the drying of rain boots more convenient and allowing for more accurate time control.
[0017] 3. By installing a dehumidifying fan, ventilation can be carried out, thereby removing moisture from the cabinet and preventing the accumulation of internal moisture, which can lead to a damp environment and the growth of bacteria. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Self-service, single-control intelligent boot dryer, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a drying shoe assembly, which includes a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has several drying chambers 10. Several sealing doors 2 are installed on one side of the cabinet 1. The size and position of the sealing doors 2 are adapted to the drying chambers 10. A partition 12 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The position of the partition 12 is adapted to the drying chambers 10. A heating chamber 13 and an ozone sterilization device 16 are installed on one side of the partition 12. The heating chamber 13 has several sets of partitions. A placement rack 4 is connected to one end of the heating chamber 13. The placement rack 4 is hollow and one end is connected to the inside of the drying chamber 10. A drying fan 14 is connected to one side of the heating chamber 13. Several cover plates 15 are installed on one side of the cabinet 1. A recognition component for facial recognition and a control component for adjustment are provided on one side of the cabinet 1. An ozone sterilization device 7 is provided on the top of the cabinet 1, which delivers ozone to the heating chamber of the cabinet through an air duct.
[0027] In use, the drying chamber 10 can be sealed by the partition 12 and the sealing door 2. To dry, open the sealing door 2 and place the cleaned rain boots into the drying chamber 10. Place the rain boots or socks to be dried on the rack 4. The heating chamber 13, equipped with heating wires, will then begin drying. Ozone generated by the ozone sterilization device is transported to the inside of the boots and socks by the drying fan 14, which works in conjunction with the hollow rack 4 to sterilize them. After sterilization, the ozone sterilization device is turned off, and the drying chamber 13 continues to dry. The heating element generates heat, which, in conjunction with the drying fan 14, produces hot air. This hot air is then delivered through the placement rack 4 to the inside of the rain boots and socks for drying. Each drying chamber 10 is equipped with its own heating chamber 13 and drying fan 14. Depending on the placement of the rain boots, a specific heating chamber 13 and drying fan 14 can be individually controlled to start drying the rain boots inside the drying chamber 10. This avoids the centralized drying of traditional methods, resulting in higher drying efficiency. It also solves the problem that existing technologies cannot individually control the start of a single workstation for drying, eliminating the need for all workstations to be activated, thus avoiding unnecessary energy waste and significantly reducing enterprise costs.
[0028] The ozone sterilization and disinfection device uses an ozone generator. The outlet of the ozone generator is connected to the inside of the cabinet through a ventilation pipe, allowing ozone to be introduced into the drying chamber inside the cabinet.
[0029] The recognition component includes a face recognition device 8, which is located on one side of the cabinet 1. A speaker 9 is located on one side of the cabinet 1, and the face recognition device 8 is equipped with a face recognition system.
[0030] In use, a control compartment is located on one side of cabinet 1, and a smart lock is installed on the sealed door 2. After the face is intelligently stored and recognized by the facial recognition system, the smart lock automatically opens. The control compartment contains components for facial recognition and lock / unlock control. These components and signal transmission methods are based on existing technologies and no innovative work has been undertaken. These components are connected to the facial recognition device 8, and the speaker 9 is also connected to the facial recognition device 8. Facial recognition is performed through the facial recognition device 8. When boot drying is required, the user scans their face through the facial recognition device 8 to register their facial information before operation. The cabinets open randomly, with one person per cabinet for real-time registration. When boots need to be retrieved after drying, workers scan their faces using the facial recognition device 8. The system intelligently recognizes the registered cabinet doors and automatically opens them. Facial recognition controls the cabinet door opening and closing, achieving one person, one recognition, one cabinet, one registration, and one management. This avoids the mistaken or random taking of rain boots and socks. Compared with existing technologies, the self-service facial recognition method allows workers to operate independently without the need for dedicated personnel, reducing personnel expenses and other costs for enterprises. The facial recognition device 8 can be any existing model such as ZK-F5, W20, Hikvision DS-K1T671TM-3XF, and YXD-F8. For reference, see the facial recognition smart cabinet application number 202022054869.8.
[0031] The control component includes a control panel 6, which is installed on the outer wall of one side of the cabinet 1. The control panel 6 is covered with a protective film and is equipped with an intelligent control system.
[0032] During use, the control panel 6 displays the current availability of cabinet doors and the remaining drying time for different drying chambers 10, making the drying of rain boots more convenient and allowing for more accurate time control. The intelligent control system is the "brain" of the entire equipment, intelligently controlling the operation of the equipment and setting and recording data. After cleaning the rain boots, workers can place them in the drying station by scanning their faces, opening the unused cabinets, and closing the cabinet doors to automatically start the drying program. Workers can leave without further operation, eliminating the need for dedicated personnel to monitor the equipment and reducing labor costs for the company. The intelligent control system automatically identifies which cabinet or workstation has rain boots that need drying and opens the corresponding workstation for drying. The cabinet doors are opened and closed via a facial recognition system, with one person, one identification, one registration, and one management. After facial recognition, the cabinet door opens automatically, and the rain boots and socks to be dried are placed in the workstation before the cabinet door is closed. The system automatically identifies items that need drying and automatically activates the ozone disinfection function. After 2 minutes of disinfection, the heating function starts to dry the items. Once the drying time is up, the system automatically shuts off the heating function. When workers retrieve rain boots using facial recognition, the corresponding drying cabinet door opens automatically after facial recognition, allowing the worker to take the boots and close the door. This process can be repeated. When rain boots need drying, the ozone disinfection device automatically starts after the cabinet door is closed and automatically shuts off after the required time. All workstations in the drying unit operate independently; only the required number of workstations are activated. Through intelligent control, the heating power is linearly controlled. When the drying temperature approaches the target temperature, the automatic control gradually reduces the heating power, automatically shutting off the heating power when the target temperature is reached. When the temperature drops below a certain value, the heating power automatically resumes. This intelligent control allows for precise operation, improving work efficiency and saving energy.
[0033] It should be noted that the intelligent control system is designed to achieve better results; the drying process can be completed without it.
[0034] In other embodiments, temperature-ozone linkage control can also be used to reduce the impact of ozone on heating temperature for intelligent drying process control.
[0035] Wherein, heating power compensation = base power × (1 + k × ozone concentration / safe concentration)
[0036] k is the heating power compensation coefficient, typically 0.02-0.05.
[0037] The intelligent control process includes: multi-dimensional humidity detection, which collects multi-dimensional humidity data by setting up humidity sensors inside the cabinet and controls the drying process in combination with the material of the boots. If the humidity inside the boots is >80%RH, the "deep drying mode" is activated; if it is <50%RH, the "fast drying mode" is activated directly.
[0038] Phase 1 (Rapid Dehumidification): Calculate the time based on the initial humidity (e.g., 20 minutes from 80%RH to 50%RH).
[0039] Phase 2 (Constant Temperature Drying): After the humidity reaches the standard, adjust the time according to the material (30 minutes for rubber boots, 60 minutes for leather boots).
[0040] Drying time = Base duration + (Initial humidity - Target humidity) × K + Material correction value + Ozone correction value
[0041] The coefficient K represents the degree of linear influence on drying time, determined experimentally based on the characteristics of the drying equipment (e.g., heating power, wind speed, heat exchange efficiency) and the drying environment (e.g., temperature, air pressure). The ozone correction value is calculated based on the additional time caused by the decrease in thermal efficiency due to the ozone environment. The material correction value is determined by conducting drying experiments on different materials under the same operating conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed) and recording the actual drying time t. 实际 and reference time t 基准 ,calculate.
[0042] For ease of relocation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with casters 3, and several sets of casters 3 are provided;
[0043] When in use, the device can be pushed or pulled. The universal wheels 3 rotate in contact with the ground, which can easily move the device and make it easier to move the device.
[0044] For ease of maintenance, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet 1 has several cavities, and an inspection door 5 is provided in each cavity;
[0045] In use, the multiple cavities of the cabinet 1 can be used to connect the wiring and controller, and the cavities can be opened and closed through the inspection door 5, which makes subsequent maintenance more convenient and reduces the difficulty of maintenance.
[0046] For easy drainage, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, a drain pipe 11 is provided inside the cabinet 1, and the partition 12 has several sets of drain holes, which are connected to the drain pipe 11.
[0047] When in use, the positions of several sets of drainage holes opened on the partition 12 are adapted to each set of drying chambers 10. Water that drips out during drying can be discharged from the drying chambers 10 through the drainage holes and drainage pipes 11, thus preventing water accumulation in the drying chambers 10.
