Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe polishing technology, and in particular to a sponge shoe polisher. Background Technology
[0002] Existing technology discloses a novel sponge shoe polisher, application publication number CN105559731A, publication date May 11, 2016. It solves the problems of traditional shoe polishing tools being inconvenient to carry and prone to sponge aging through a box body, a lid with connecting ribs and buckles, and a built-in sponge structure, and utilizes hooks for easy storage. However, when users need to polish leather shoes, they still need to carry shoe polish separately and apply it to the sponge, making the process cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient sponge shoe polisher that allows for the storage, replenishment, and easy dispensing of shoe polish.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, the sponge shoe wiper adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A shoe polish sponge includes a box body, a box lid, and a sponge. The sponge is fixed to the inner surface of the box lid, which covers the top of the box body, and the sponge is located inside the inner cavity of the box body. The box lid has a liquid storage chamber for holding shoe polish, and the liquid storage chamber has a liquid outlet. A telescopic plug is provided at the position of the liquid outlet, and the lower end of the telescopic plug extends through the liquid outlet and into the sponge. When the sponge is pressed, the telescopic plug moves upward to disengage from the liquid outlet, and moves downward to seal the liquid outlet after the pressure is released. The box lid includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The upper cover has an upper liquid storage tank, and the lower cover has a lower liquid storage tank. The upper and lower liquid storage tanks are arranged opposite each other and enclose the liquid storage chamber.
[0006] Preferably, the upper liquid storage tank has two upper tank walls, and the lower liquid storage tank has three lower tank walls, forming two slots between the three lower tank walls. The two upper tank walls are inserted into the two slots. The two independent slots formed by the three lower tank walls and the two upper tank walls constitute a double-sealed interface.
[0007] Preferably, the lower reservoir wall in the middle is a reinforced wall, which is shaped like a "Z". The reinforced wall acts as a support rib, dispersing the closing pressure and preventing the lower reservoir from deforming under pressure.
[0008] Preferably, a wedge-shaped contact structure is formed between the mating surfaces of the upper groove wall and the slot.
[0009] Preferably, the wedge-shaped contact structure includes a first inclined surface disposed on the outer surface of the upper groove wall, and a second inclined surface disposed on the inner wall of the groove.
[0010] Preferably, the height of the two upper walls of the upper reservoir increases from the inner edge to the outer edge, while the height of the three lower walls of the lower reservoir decreases from the inner edge to the outer edge. This reduces the risk of shoe polish leaking from the edge of the reservoir.
[0011] Preferably, the liquid storage chamber is provided with a liquid outlet channel, and a telescopic plug is disposed within the liquid outlet channel. The liquid outlet is located at the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel. The telescopic plug includes a conical plug, a squeezing rod, a telescopic part, and a liquid outlet tube. The liquid outlet tube is installed at the upper end of the liquid outlet channel, and the telescopic part is disposed between the liquid outlet tube and the conical plug and is configured as a spiral structure. The liquid outlet is adapted to the conical plug, and the conical plug can seal the liquid outlet. The squeezing rod is located at the lower end of the conical plug, and the squeezing rod extends out of the liquid outlet and into the sponge. When it is necessary to wipe the shoe surface with oil, the user holds the box and applies pressure to the shoe surface with the sponge. The squeezing rod is subjected to an upward pushing force, which drives the conical plug connected to it to move upward against the elastic force of the telescopic part, thereby disengaging from the liquid outlet. The shoe oil in the storage chamber then flows into the sponge below through the open liquid outlet, soaking the sponge. When the user releases the pressure, the telescopic part uses its elastic restoring force to push the conical plug downward to reset, tightly fitting the liquid outlet to achieve a seal and prevent the shoe oil from continuing to flow out.
[0012] Preferably, the upper cover is equipped with a transparent cover at the location of the liquid storage cavity. The transparent cover allows for easy observation of the amount of shoe polish inside the liquid storage cavity.
[0013] Preferably, both the upper and lower liquid storage tanks are elliptical in shape.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The liquid storage chamber of this utility model is designed as a split structure. The upper and lower liquid storage tanks are assembled together to form the liquid storage chamber. When the shoe polish in the storage chamber is depleted, the user only needs to separate the upper and lower covers to directly add new shoe polish to the upper liquid storage tank, and then replace the covers to complete the refilling process. This split design completely solves the problem of traditional one-piece liquid storage chambers being difficult to replenish or requiring complex filling tools, greatly improving the product's maintainability and long-term ease of use.
[0016] 2. The upper and lower covers are fixed together by the insertion of the upper groove wall into the slot. A wedge-shaped contact structure is designed on the insertion mating surface. This structure not only plays a guiding and positioning role during the closing process, but also generates a continuous radial clamping force through the tight fit of the wedge-shaped surface. This clamping force ensures that the interface of the liquid storage cavity formed by the upper and lower liquid storage tanks has excellent sealing performance. Even if it is subjected to vibration and compression during carrying or transportation, it can effectively prevent shoe polish leakage, keep the inside of the product clean and avoid waste.
[0017] 3. This utility model sets up a liquid storage chamber inside the box cover, and controls the oil outlet by combining it with a telescopic plug. Through the design of the telescopic plug, it realizes the control of oil dispensing when pressed and sealing when released. It is not only simple to operate, but also can dispense oil in a quantitative manner, effectively avoiding waste or pollution. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, a shoe polish sponge includes a box body 11, a lid, and a sponge 9. The sponge 9 is fixed to the inner surface of the lid, which covers the upper part of the box body 11, and the sponge 9 is located in the inner cavity of the box body 11. The lid has a storage cavity 4 for holding shoe polish, and the storage cavity 4 has an outlet 7. A telescopic plug is located at the outlet 7, with its lower end extending through the outlet 7 and into the sponge 9. When the sponge 9 is pressed, the telescopic plug moves upward to disengage from the outlet 7, and moves downward to seal the outlet 7 after the pressure is released. The storage cavity 4 has... The liquid outlet channel 10 has a telescopic plug inside it, and the liquid outlet 7 is located at the bottom of the channel. The telescopic plug includes a conical plug 6, a squeezing rod 8, a telescopic part 5, and a liquid outlet tube 3. The liquid outlet tube 3 is installed at the upper end of the channel. The telescopic part 5 is located between the liquid outlet tube 3 and the conical plug 6 and is configured as a spiral structure. The liquid outlet 7 is adapted to the conical plug 6, and the conical plug 6 can seal the liquid outlet 7. The squeezing rod 8 is located at the lower end of the conical plug 6, and extends through the liquid outlet 7 and into the sponge 9. The lid includes an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 1. 2. The upper cover 1 is provided with an upper liquid storage tank 401, and the lower cover 12 is provided with a lower liquid storage tank 402. Both the upper and lower liquid storage tanks are elliptical in shape. The upper liquid storage tank 401 and the lower liquid storage tank 402 are arranged opposite each other and form a liquid storage cavity 4. The upper cover 1 is provided with a transparent cover 2 at the position of the liquid storage cavity 4. The upper liquid storage tank 401 is provided with two upper tank walls 401a, and the lower liquid storage tank 402 is provided with three lower tank walls 402a. Two slots 402c are formed between the three lower tank walls 402a, and the two upper tank walls 401a are inserted into the two slots 402c. The upper liquid storage tank 401a is provided with an upper tank 402a. The height of the two upper tank walls 401a of 01 increases from the inner edge to the outer edge, and the height of the three lower tank walls 402a of the lower liquid storage tank 402 decreases from the inner edge to the outer edge; the middle lower tank wall 402a of the lower liquid storage tank 402 is a reinforced tank wall 402b, which is set in a Z-shape; a wedge-shaped contact structure is formed between the mating surfaces of the upper tank walls 401a and the slot 402c; the wedge-shaped contact structure includes a first inclined surface 401b provided on the outer surface of the upper tank wall 401a, and a second inclined surface 402d provided on the inner wall of the slot 402c.
[0026] The specific working process and principle of this utility model are as follows: The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 12 are designed to be separable. When shoe polish needs to be added, the user can manually separate the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 12 to fully expose the upper liquid reservoir 401. At this time, the lower liquid reservoir 402 separates with the lower cover 12. Since the upper liquid reservoir 401 has an open structure, the user can directly inject shoe polish into the upper liquid reservoir 401 without the need for special tools. After the replenishment is completed, the lower liquid reservoir 402 of the lower cover 12 is aligned with the upper liquid reservoir 401 of the upper cover 1 and closed. The upper reservoir wall 401a and the slot 402c are automatically guided and locked by the wedge-shaped engagement.
[0027] When shoe polish needs to be applied, the user holds the box 11 and applies pressure to the shoe surface with the attached sponge 9. The squeezing rod 8 experiences an upward pushing force, causing the connected conical plug 6 to move upward against the elastic force of the telescopic part 5, thus disengaging from the outlet 7. The shoe polish in the storage chamber 4 then flows into the sponge 9 below through the open outlet 7, soaking the sponge. When the user releases the pressure, the telescopic part 5, relying on its elastic restoring force, pushes the conical plug 6 downward to reset, tightly sealing the outlet 7 and preventing further leakage of shoe polish. The shoe polish-soaked sponge 9 can then be used directly to wipe the shoe surface, completing cleaning and polishing maintenance. The entire process achieves sealed storage of shoe polish, on-demand quantitative release, and hands-free operation.
