Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe washing machine technology, and in particular to a shoe washing machine brush rod connecting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As people's requirements for cleanliness and hygiene increase, a large number of mini shoe washing machines have appeared on the market to meet consumer needs. These machines are designed for individual shoes and use a washing tub with added cleaning structures such as brushes. A drive mechanism drives the impeller to rotate, which in turn drives the brush assembly to rotate, allowing the shoe washing sticks to clean the shoes.

[0003] As disclosed in the prior art, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN216569856U, entitled "Sealing Gasket Structure for Shoe Washing Machine and Shoe Washing Machine," discloses a sealing gasket structure for a shoe washing machine and a shoe washing machine. This utility model aims to solve the problem of sediment buildup between the reducer and the outer tub in existing shoe washing machines, leading to leakage during prolonged use. To this end, this utility model provides a sealing gasket structure for a shoe washing machine. This sealing gasket structure is positioned between the inner and outer tubs of the shoe washing machine, forming a sealed chamber. When the inner and outer tubs are not rotating relative to each other, the sealed chamber is closed; when the inner tub rotates relative to the outer tub, the sealed chamber opens. This arrangement creates a sealed chamber during the washing process, preventing the entry of sediment and other foreign matter. Furthermore, during the dehydration process, as the inner tub rotates, the inner lip of the sealing gasket separates from the bottom of the outer tub, allowing water to drain from the sealed chamber and preventing odors caused by water accumulation.

[0004] In existing shoe washing machines, the brush assembly and impeller are fixedly connected. To switch the shoe washing machine to washing mode, a special extended screw needs to be removed to take off the brush assembly. Furthermore, there are sharp corners at the location where the brush assembly is installed, which can easily entangle and damage clothes during washing, thus reducing the customer experience.

[0041] When the above structure is in use, pressing the upper working end of the linkage rod 12 transmits the force to the release member 35. The first spring 361 and the second spring 362 provide tactile feedback and rebound force. By pressing the release member 35, the force is transmitted to the locking member 33, causing the locking member 33 to move downward. The arc-shaped protrusion 334 cooperates with the concave arc surface 3131. Through the lever principle, the locking arm 333 disengages from the locking groove 222 to achieve quick unlocking.

[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments.
