Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization and shoe drying technology, and in particular to a foldable sterilization and shoe drying device. Background Technology
[0002] A shoe dryer, also known as a shoe warmer or shoe dryer, is a small appliance specifically designed for drying shoes. Because the inside of shoes is relatively deep, direct air drying is not enough to dry the deep parts of the shoes, so a dryer is needed to speed up the drying process.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN217852873U discloses a sterilizing folding shoe dryer, belonging to the technical field of shoe dryer technology. This deodorizing and sterilizing folding shoe dryer includes a deodorizing, sterilizing, and drying component and an air outlet component. In the above implementation process, ozone is discharged from the air outlet on the sliding tube, thereby deodorizing, sterilizing, and disinfecting the shoes. When drying the shoes is required, the gas is heated by an electric heating wire, and then the ozone generator can be turned off. Under the continuous action of the fan, hot air will continuously be discharged from the air outlet, thereby drying the shoes. It can deodorize, sterilize, disinfect, and dry shoes, offering multiple functions. It can directly deodorize, sterilize, disinfect, and dry shoes, making it convenient when deodorizing and sterilizing shoes is needed. Furthermore, the angle and length of the connecting tube and the sliding tube can be easily adjusted according to the size of the shoes, making the deodorizing and sterilizing folding shoe dryer very convenient to use.
[0004] The shoe dryer inserts the air outlet directly into the shoe, but this method causes the hot air to carry odors and drift in the surrounding environment during the initial sterilization and purification process, affecting the surrounding air quality and making the user feel uncomfortable.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0027] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a foldable sterilizing shoe dryer includes a base plate 1. Two centrally symmetrically distributed storage slots 2 are opened on the upper side of the base plate 1. Rotating seats 3 are rotatably connected to the inner side of each of the two storage slots 2. Air jet pipes 4 are rotatably connected to the upper side of each of the two rotating seats 3. A flexible telescopic sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base plate 1 near the edge. A top plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the flexible telescopic sleeve 5 near the rear side. A cover plate 7 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the flexible telescopic sleeve 5 near the rear side. Air exchange mechanisms 8 distributed on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the upper side of the cover plate 7 near the left and right sides. Four support mechanisms 9 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the base plate 1 near the four corners.
[0028] The ventilation mechanism 8 includes a limiting ring 81. The lower side of the limiting ring 81 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the cover plate 7. A fixing seat 82 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the limiting ring 81. A ventilation fan 83 and a filter plate 84 are movably sleeved on the inner side of the fixing seat 82. The filter plate 84 is located on the upper side of the ventilation fan 83. A cover 85 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the filter plate 84 near the upper side.
[0029] It should be noted that the jet pipe 4 has the same structural shape as the component with the same function in the reference case. The jet pipe 4 can be connected to an external pipe to introduce sterilizing gas and achieve the purpose of sterilization. The pipe channel is located inside the rotating seat 3. The jet pipe 4 can rotate on the rotating seat 3 and be stored in the inner side of the storage groove 2 along with the rotating seat 3. Limiting parts are provided between the storage groove 2 and the rotating seat 3, as well as between the rotating seat 3 and the jet pipe 4, to fix the jet pipe 4 in both the storage and use states. The ventilation fan 83 is used to drive airflow. The filter plate 84 is used to purify and adsorb dust and other substances in the air passing through it. The flexible telescopic sleeve 5 is used to seal the part between the base plate 1 and the top plate 6.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a rotating ring 86 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the cover 85 near the bottom, and several annularly distributed limiting grooves 87 are opened on the outer side of the limiting ring 81 near the bottom.
[0031] It should be noted that a torsion spring is provided between the rotating ring 86 and the cover 85 to stabilize the state of the rotating ring 86. The limiting groove 87 is L-shaped, so that the rotating ring 86 fixes the cover 85 and prevents it from being directly removed from the limiting ring 81.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, several ring-shaped inserts 88 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the cover 85 near the edge.
[0033] It should be noted that the insertion rod 88 is used to insert into the insertion hole on the limiting ring 81, so that the cover 85 and the limiting ring 81 will not rotate relative to each other.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, friction textures are provided on the outer side of the rotating ring 86.
[0035] It should be noted that the friction texture is used to increase the friction between the hand and the rotating ring 86, making it easier for the user to grip the rotating ring 86.
[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the support mechanism 9 includes a support rod 91. The lower side of the support rod 91 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base plate 1 near the four corners. The upper side of the support rod 91 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 92. The upper side of the top plate 6 is fixedly connected to two centrally symmetrical hooks 93 near the four corners.
[0037] It should be noted that the four support rods 91 rotate in different directions from the base plate 1 to avoid unstable support of the top plate 6 by the support rods 91. The rotating plate 92 is locked under the hook 93 so that the rotating plate 92 supports the top plate 6.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, a torsion spring is provided between the lower side of the rotating plate 92 and the upper side of the support rod 91.
[0039] It should be noted that the torsion spring is used to stabilize the state between the rotating plate 92 and the support rod 91, and to prevent the rotating plate 92 from rotating on the support rod 91.
[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, elastic claws 94 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the top plate 6 near the four sides.
[0041] It should be noted that the elastic claw 94 is used to fix the support rod 91 during storage, thereby fixing the top plate 6 to the base plate 1.
[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the ventilation fan 83 drives airflow; the filter plate 84 purifies and adsorbs dust and other particles in the air passing through it; the flexible telescopic sleeve 5 seals the area between the base plate 1 and the top plate 6; a torsion spring is provided between the rotating ring 86 and the cover 85 to stabilize the state of the rotating ring 86; the limiting groove 87 is L-shaped, which fixes the rotating ring 86 to the cover 85, preventing it from being directly removed from the limiting ring 81; air is drawn in and supplied by two ventilation fans 83; the base plate 1, the flexible telescopic sleeve 5, and the top plate 6 cooperate to form a closed space, ensuring that the air inside the flexible telescopic sleeve 5 is not directly discharged into the surrounding environment during the purification process. In order to avoid affecting the surrounding air quality, the four support rods 91 rotate in different directions from the base plate 1 to prevent the support rods 91 from being unstable in supporting the top plate 6. The rotating plate 92 is locked under the hook 93, so that the rotating plate 92 supports the top plate 6. The torsion spring is used to stabilize the state between the rotating plate 92 and the support rods 91 to prevent the rotating plate 92 from rotating on the support rods 91. The elastic claw 94 is used to fix the support rods 91 when storing, so that the top plate 6 is fixed on the base plate 1. Through the cooperation of the rotating plate 92 and the hook 93, the top plate 6 can be quickly supported and can be quickly disassembled, so that the whole can be covered, reducing the overall volume and facilitating the storage of the device.
