Summary of the Invention:

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and to develop and design a washing device that simultaneously washes clothes and shoes by setting up multiple washing drums, at least one of which is equipped with a brush for cleaning shoes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the main structure of the washing equipment involved in this utility model includes an outer shell and N matching water-holding tubes and washing tubes arranged inside it, with at least two washing tubes arranged horizontally and nested inside the water-holding tubes. At least one of the washing tubes is equipped with a brush. When the motor drives the washing tube to rotate, the brush rotates with the washing tube to realize the shoe washing function.

[0005] Furthermore, the brush is set on the rim of the washing drum. As the washing drum rotates, the shoes repeatedly collide and rub against the brush, quickly removing stains.

[0006] Furthermore, a drying module is also installed on the water tank. The drying module consists of a fan and an air duct with a heater. The fan blows air into the air duct, and the heater heats the air before blowing it into the washing drum to dry clothes and shoes.

[0007] Furthermore, at least one of the water tanks is equipped with a suspension spring and a shock absorber to achieve the washing and spin-drying functions of a conventional washing machine.

[0008] Furthermore, a condenser plate is provided on the rear wall of the water tank, and a condenser inlet is located at the top of the condenser plate. One of the water inlet pipes of the water tank is connected to the condenser inlet. During operation, tap water enters the condenser plate through the inlet pipe to cool the condenser plate, thereby condensing the moisture generated by the clothes and shoes inside the washing drum 4 and reducing the release of moisture into the external environment.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear of the outer casing is equipped with N drain outlets, each connected to the drain pipe of a water tank, to avoid cross-contamination when multiple washing drums drain simultaneously.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the main structure of this utility model includes an outer shell and several sets of water inlet pipes, drain pipes and several water tanks inside. The drain pipes correspond one-to-one with the drain outlets at the rear of the outer shell. A drying module consisting of a fan, heater and air duct is installed on the water tank. A suspension spring is installed at the top and a shock absorber is installed at the bottom. A condenser plate is installed on the rear wall and a washing drum is installed inside. The water inlet on the condenser plate is connected to the water inlet pipe. The washing drum driven by the motor consists of a drum ring and a front wall and a rear wall. The motor is connected to the rear wall. A brush is installed in the drum ring. When the washing drum is driven by the motor to rotate, the brush rotates with the washing drum to realize the shoe washing function. When the washing drum rotates, the shoes repeatedly collide and rub against the brush, quickly removing stains. Attached image description:
