Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing equipment, and in particular to a bidirectional airflow circulating shoe cabinet care device. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, shoes are an essential clothing item, and their daily storage and care directly affect their lifespan and wearing comfort. Because shoes absorb sweat and dust during wear, they are prone to bacterial growth and odor in enclosed environments. At the same time, damp environments can also cause mold on the shoe uppers and aging of the soles. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the ventilation, drying, and sterilization functions of shoe cabinets.
[0003] Traditional shoe cabinets primarily function as storage units, relying solely on ventilation holes on the sides or top for natural ventilation. This method is highly susceptible to ambient airflow, resulting in extremely low ventilation efficiency and failing to effectively address the issues of moisture and odors trapped inside shoes. With technological advancements, smart shoe cabinets with active ventilation have emerged, attempting to enhance airflow by blowing air into the cabinet from a single direction. However, the airflow circulation design of existing smart shoe cabinets still has significant flaws: Firstly, most employ a unidirectional airflow output mode, making it difficult for air to circulate effectively within the shoe rack after entering from a single direction. This easily creates airflow dead zones on the inside of shoes, in the gap between the toe and heel, leading to insufficient gas exchange and uneven dehumidification and deodorization effects. Secondly, the lack of targeted airflow guidance structures means that the air entering the shoe rack cannot accurately cover all areas of the shoes, resulting in slow airflow and prolonged residence time in some areas, failing to quickly remove moisture and odors.
[0004] In addition, the connection between the air outlet channel and the shoe rack in existing shoe cabinets is mostly set vertically or horizontally. After the air enters the shoe rack, it is easy for it to directly impact the shoe surface or run along the cabinet wall, making it difficult to penetrate into the core area of the shoe. At the same time, the coordination between the return air device and the air outlet device is unreasonable, resulting in low air circulation efficiency in the cabinet. Some air is discharged without being fully utilized, which not only wastes energy but also fails to achieve efficient care.
[0005] In view of the problems of insufficient airflow circulation, limited coverage and poor care effect in the existing technology, there is an urgent need for a shoe cabinet care device that can achieve precise bidirectional airflow circulation and enhance airflow diversion effect, so as to improve the gas exchange efficiency in the shoe cabinet and comprehensively solve the problems of dampness, odor and bacterial growth during shoe storage.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a bidirectional airflow circulating shoe cabinet 100 care device, including a shoe cabinet 100. The shoe cabinet 100 is a cabinet structure with multiple shoe racks 120 arranged from top to bottom. Each shoe rack 120 can hold shoes. The shoe racks 120 are assembled by partitions 110. Multiple partitions 110 are vertically arranged on the shoe cabinet 100. The multiple partitions 110 are arranged parallel to each other, so that a shoe rack 120 is formed between each adjacent partition 110.
[0047] The shoe cabinet 100 is equipped with an air outlet device 200, a drainage device 400, and an air return device 300. The air outlet device 200 mainly includes a first air outlet channel 210 and a second air outlet channel 220, which are respectively located on both sides of the shoe cabinet 100. This allows air to flow through the first air outlet channel 210 and the second air outlet channel 220, blowing air onto both sides of the shoe rack 120. Specifically:
[0048] A first connecting channel 212 is provided between the first air outlet channel 210 and the shoe rack 120. The first connecting channel 212 is horizontally arranged on the shoe rack 120, and the length of the first connecting channel 212 is equal to the depth of the shoes placed on the shoe rack 120. This allows the gas to flow through the first connecting channel 212 to the entire internal space of the shoe rack 120, avoiding dead zones in gas flow. At the same time, to facilitate the overall flow of gas within the shoe rack 120, the first connecting channel 212 needs to be set at an angle, that is, the first connecting channel 212 is set at an angle upward in the direction of the first air outlet channel 210 toward the shoe rack 120. On the other hand, the first connecting channel 212 is located in the middle of the vertical space of the shoe rack 120. In this way, the gas blown in through the first air outlet channel 210 can be precisely directed to the core area inside the shoe under the guidance of the first connecting channel 212, increasing the contact area and contact time between the gas and the shoe surface, and preventing the gas from flowing along the cabinet wall or only impacting the shoe surface. Similarly, a second connecting channel 222 is provided between the second air outlet channel 220 and the shoe rack 120. The second connecting channel 222 is also horizontally arranged on the shoe rack 120, and its length is equal to the placement depth of the shoes on the shoe rack 120. The second connecting channel 222 is also obliquely upward, and the second connecting channel 222 is also located in the middle of the vertical space of the shoe rack 120, so as to cooperate with the second air outlet channel 220 to blow air onto the shoe rack 120.
[0049] In this embodiment, a first air pump 211 is installed at the bottom of the first air outlet channel 210. The first air pump 211 is connected to the first air outlet channel 210 and provides gas power to drive gas through the first air outlet channel 210 and the first connecting channel 212 into the shoe rack 120. A second air pump 221 is installed at the bottom of the second air outlet channel 220 and is connected to the second air outlet channel 220. The second air pump 221 provides gas power to drive gas through the second air outlet channel 220 and the second connecting channel 222 into the shoe rack 120. Through the synergistic action of the first air pump 211 and the second air pump 221, bidirectional circulation of gas within the shoe rack 120 can be achieved, effectively improving gas circulation efficiency and care effect.
[0050] In addition, to enhance the gas drainage effect, this invention also provides a drainage device 400 on the shoe rack 120. The drainage device 400 is located inside the partition 110, and a drainage cavity 130 is provided inside the partition 110 corresponding to the drainage device 400. The drainage device 400 specifically includes a fixing member 410, a first drainage plate 420, and a second drainage plate 430. The fixing member 410 is located in the middle of the partition 110, and the first drainage plate 420 is located on one side of the fixing member 410. At the same time, the first drainage plate 420 is curved within the partition 110, and the curved opening 522 of the first drainage plate 420 is oriented towards the shoe rack 120, so that a drainage cavity 130 is formed on the concave side of the first drainage plate 420. Similarly, the second drainage plate 430 is located on the other side of the fixing member 410. The second drainage plate 430 is opposite to the first drainage plate 420. The second drainage plate 430 is also curved within the partition 110, and the curved opening 522 of the second drainage plate 430 is oriented towards the shoe rack 120, so that a drainage cavity 130 is also formed on the concave side of the second drainage plate 430. Furthermore, the first guide plate 420 is configured corresponding to the first gas outlet channel 210, and the second guide plate 430 is configured corresponding to the second gas outlet channel 220. Specifically, the first gas outlet channel 210 is positioned at one end facing the first guide plate 420 and the second guide plate 430, so that gas moves through the first gas outlet channel 210 to one end of the first guide plate 420. In this embodiment, the end of the first guide plate 420 facing the second guide plate 430 is lower than the end of the first guide plate 420 furthest from the second guide plate 430, allowing gas to... The gas is guided by the first drainage plate 420, which allows it to circulate and flow within the drainage cavity 130 of the shoe rack 120, and then flows as a whole within the shoe rack 120. Similarly, the second drainage plate 430, like the first drainage plate 420, guides the gas to circulate and flow. Thus, when the gas enters the shoe rack 120 through the first air outlet channel 210 and the second air outlet channel 220, it can be guided by the first drainage plate 420 and the second drainage plate 430 respectively, facilitating the flow of the gas along the contour of the shoe and further improving the gas drainage effect.
[0051] Furthermore, the drainage device 400 of this invention is also provided with an adjustment device 500 to flexibly change the shape of the drainage cavity 130 according to the size and style of the shoe, further optimizing the airflow path. The adjustment device 500 specifically includes a linear drive member 510 and a drive plate 520. Two linear drive members 510 are provided, each positioned on one side of the first drainage plate 420 and the second drainage plate 430, located on the side of the first and second drainage plates 420 opposite to the drainage cavity 130. Two drive plates 520 are provided, positioned at the output end of the linear drive members 510, driving the drive plates 520 to move along the output direction of the linear drive members 510. Two drive plates 520 are respectively connected to the first diversion plate 420 and the second diversion plate 430. The linear drive component 510 drives the first diversion plate 420 and the second diversion plate 430 to move through the drive plates 520, thereby changing the curvature of the diversion cavity 130 and facilitating the adjustment of the airflow path. In addition, the drive plate 520 is also provided with a sliding groove 521. The sliding groove 521 has an opening 522 at one end facing the first guide plate 420 and the second guide plate 430. The end of the first guide plate 420 facing the first air outlet channel 210 is located in the sliding groove 521. The end of the first guide plate 420 slides in the sliding groove 521 under the drive of the linear drive member 510. The end of the second guide plate 430 facing the second air outlet channel 220 is also located in the sliding groove 521. The end of the second guide plate 430 also slides in the sliding groove 521 under the drive of the linear drive member 510. In this way, the position of the guide plate can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the linear drive member 510.
[0052] In the above structure, when the linear drive 510 drives the drive plate 520 to move up and down, the linear drive 510 drives the drive plate 520 to move up and down. The up and down moving drive plate 520 causes the end positions of the first drainage plate 420 and the second drainage plate 430 to move within the sliding groove 521, thereby changing the size and corresponding curvature of their drainage cavity 130.
[0053] In this embodiment, a return air device 300 is also provided, which mainly includes a return air channel 310 and a return air chamber 320. The return air channel 310 is located on one side of the shoe rack 120, specifically between the first air outlet channel 210 and the second air outlet channel 220. This arrangement ensures that the gas, after being fully processed within the shoe rack 120, can flow back in an orderly manner through the return air channel 310. The return air channel 310 is connected to the shoe rack 120, allowing the gas within the shoe rack 120 to smoothly enter the return air channel 310. Simultaneously, the return air chamber 320 is located within the fixing member 410, connecting the return air channel 310 and the shoe rack 120, further ensuring smooth airflow circulation. This design not only simplifies the airflow path but also effectively improves the efficiency of airflow circulation.
[0054] The return air channel 310 is connected to the first air pump 211 and the second air pump 221. An adsorption device 330 is installed in the return air channel 310 to adsorb impurities in the air.
[0055] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
