Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe washing technology, specifically to a brush structure for a drum shoe washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most drum shoe washing machines on the market are modified from washing machines. Their inner drum is designed for washing machines, and brushes are laid on the inner wall of the drum. The shoes are cleaned by the rotation of the inner drum and the friction of the brushes.

[0003] Currently, most drum washing machine wall brushes are fixed with screws. Because the angle between the drum wall brush and the drum opening is 90 degrees, screwing in the screws is inconvenient and affects installation and maintenance efficiency. In addition, existing shoe washing machines only lay brushes on the inner wall of the drum, and there are no brushes on the drum door and the bottom of the drum, resulting in shoes not being cleaned thoroughly. Moreover, the brushes are laid at the same height, which may cause the brushes to push up the protruding parts of the shoes, resulting in the concave parts of the shoes not being cleaned. Therefore, a new brush structure for drum shoe washing machines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
