Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear cleaning technology, specifically to a shoe washing structure, a dehydrator, and a washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] When people use a spin dryer or washing machine to clean shoes, they usually just throw the shoes directly into the machine. Because the shoes are not secured, the centrifugal force cannot be effectively applied to the shoes when the drum of the spin dryer or washing machine rotates, resulting in poor cleaning and dehydration. When washing multiple pairs of shoes, the lack of securing can cause them to collide with each other, causing damage and resulting in a poor user experience.
[0003] Furthermore, when the inner drum of a washing machine or spin dryer rotates at high speed, the internal load needs to be in a fixed position (rotating synchronously with the inner drum) to maintain stability. Shoes, due to their irregular shape and relatively stiff texture, cannot automatically conform and distribute themselves like soft clothing. They cannot disperse on their own inside the drum and will all pile up on one side, causing the center of mass to deviate significantly from the machine's physical center of rotation. This huge eccentricity generates strong, uneven centrifugal force. To overcome this imbalance, the machine will produce violent shaking, vibration, and loud noise; in severe cases, it may even shift its position on its own, affecting its usability. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a shoe washing structure, including a rotating drum and a partition component detachably inserted into the inner side of the rotating drum. The partition component includes a plurality of partitions distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum, forming a placement cavity for placing shoes between the partitions and the inner wall of the rotating drum. An mounting ring is provided at the upper part of the rotating drum, and the mounting ring has a plurality of slots for detachably inserting into the partitions. The slots are distributed along the circumference of the mounting ring. During installation, the partition component is inserted into the inner side of the rotating drum from top to bottom, so that the partitions are inserted into the corresponding slots from top to bottom for positioning. This utility model separates the rotating inner drum through the detachable partition component, allowing shoes to rotate together with the rotating drum during washing. The shoes are evenly distributed within the rotating drum, reducing swaying caused by eccentricity and improving dehydration efficiency. Simultaneously, the physical partitions effectively prevent shoe collision damage and protect the shoe surface. The structure is simple, low-cost, and does not affect the original functions of a dehydrator or washing machine, achieving dual-purpose functionality.
[0005] Optionally, the partition component further includes a support column, and a plurality of the partitions are connected at equal intervals in a ring to the outside of the support column.
[0006] Optionally, the partition component is made of plastic, and the partition is integrally formed with the support column.
[0007] Optionally, the slot is provided through in the vertical direction.
[0008] Optionally, the partition plate has multiple mesh openings.
[0009] Optionally, a reinforcing rib is provided on the inner side of the mounting ring, and the reinforcing rib extends along the circumferential direction of the mounting ring.
[0010] Optionally, the rotating cylinder includes a base plate, and the upper side of the base plate is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the partition; when the partition component is fully inserted into the inner side of the rotating cylinder from top to bottom, the lower end of the partition falls into the corresponding positioning groove for positioning.
[0011] Optionally, several partitions are separately arranged, the partitions are arc-shaped, and the two ends of each partition are detachably inserted into the corresponding slots.
[0012] Compared to existing technologies, the shoe washing structure of this utility model separates the rotating inner drum through a detachable partition component, allowing the shoes to rotate together with the rotating drum during washing. The shoes are evenly distributed inside the rotating drum, reducing swaying caused by eccentricity and improving dehydration efficiency. At the same time, the physical partition can effectively prevent shoe collision damage and protect the shoe surface. The structure is simple, low in cost, and does not affect the original functions of the dehydrator or washing machine, achieving dual-purpose functionality.
[0013] This utility model also provides a dehydrator, which includes the above-mentioned shoe washing structure. This dehydrator also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned shoe washing structure, and will not be described in detail here.
[0014] In addition, this utility model also provides a washing machine, which includes the above-mentioned shoe washing structure. This washing machine also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned shoe washing structure, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship when the product is in normal use.
[0033] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] See Figures 1-7 Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a shoe washing structure, including a rotating cylinder 1 and a partition component 2 detachably inserted into the inner side of the rotating cylinder 1. The partition component 2 includes a plurality of partitions 21 distributed along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 1. A placement cavity 4 for placing shoes is formed between the partitions 21 and the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 1. An installation ring 3 is fixedly provided on the upper part of the rotating cylinder 1. A plurality of slots 301 are provided on the installation ring 3 for detachable insertion with the partitions 21. The plurality of slots 301 are distributed along the circumference of the installation ring 3. During installation, the partition component 2 is installed from top to bottom. The partition 21 is inserted into the inner side of the rotating drum 1 so that it is inserted into the corresponding slot 301 from top to bottom for positioning. This utility model separates the rotating inner drum through the detachable partition component, so that the shoes can rotate together with the rotating drum during washing. The shoes are evenly distributed in the rotating drum, reducing the shaking caused by eccentricity and improving the dehydration efficiency. At the same time, the physical partition can effectively prevent the shoes from being damaged by collision and protect the shoe surface. The structure is simple and the cost is low. It does not affect the original function of the dehydrator or washing machine, and realizes two uses in one machine (after removing the partition component 2, it can be used for washing / dehydrating clothes and other non-footwear items).
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The partition component 2 also includes a support column 22. Several partitions 21 are connected to the outside of the support column 22 in a ring at equal intervals. The support column 22 provides radial support and overall rigidity for the partitions 21, ensuring that the partitions maintain a stable shape during high-speed rotation, thereby reliably separating the shoes. The support column 22 is a component that combines all the partitions 21 into one unit (i.e., partition component 2). Users only need to operate this whole component to insert all the partitions into the slots 301 of the mounting ring 3 from top to bottom at once, or remove them as a whole, which greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process and improves the ease of use. The ring-shaped and equally spaced partitions 21 make each placement cavity the same size, so that users can place the shoes evenly around the cylinder wall, reducing the shaking caused by mass eccentricity and improving the stability of operation.
[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The partition component 2 is made of plastic, and the partition 21 and the support column 22 are integrally formed. The partition component 2 is integrally injection molded, which has a simple structure, avoids assembly costs, and has low production costs. Plastic has good corrosion resistance to water and common detergents, and is not easy to rust or breed bacteria, which is convenient for users to maintain after use. The number of partitions 21 can be set according to needs. In this embodiment, the number of partitions 21 is set to four, with four placement cavities 4.
[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The slot 301 is vertically through, enabling the partition 21 to be inserted and removed from top to bottom without obstruction, greatly simplifying the installation and disassembly process and improving the user experience. The vertically through slot 301 design simplifies the installation and disassembly actions to the simplest vertical downward insertion and vertical upward removal, making the operation convenient. In this embodiment, the slot 301 and the partition 21 are inserted one-to-one.
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 The partition 21 has multiple mesh openings 211, allowing washing and rinsing water to flow freely between the various "placement chambers." This ensures that the water flow is evenly applied to each shoe, rather than being blocked by the partition, thus improving the thoroughness of washing and rinsing and avoiding cleaning dead spots. During the spin-drying stage, the water spun out of the shoes must be able to drain quickly. The mesh openings provide a drainage path for the water (directly through the partition), allowing it to be smoothly spun out and drained away. If the partition were solid, water would be trapped in its respective placement chamber, causing a sharp decrease in spin-drying efficiency.
[0040] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting ring 3 has a reinforcing rib 302 on its inner side, which extends along the circumference of the mounting ring 3; this significantly enhances the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting ring 3, prevents it from deforming or breaking under stress, ensures reliable use, and extends its service life.
[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rotating cylinder 1 includes a base plate 11, and the upper side of the base plate 11 is provided with a positioning groove 111 corresponding to the partition 21. When the partition component 2 is fully inserted into the inner side of the rotating cylinder 1 from top to bottom, the lower end of the partition 21 falls into the corresponding positioning groove 111 for positioning. This provides bottom support and fixation for the partition component 2, forming a "double locking" structure, thereby enhancing the rigidity and stability of the entire system under high-speed rotation.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] See Figure 8The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that: several partitions 21 are set separately, the partitions 21 are arc-shaped, and the two ends of each partition 21 can be detachably inserted into the corresponding slots 301. Since there is no central support column occupying space, the central area of the rotating cylinder can be left empty so that other large shoes and other items that need to be cleaned can be placed in the central area, making it flexible to use.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] See Figure 9 The difference between this embodiment three and embodiment one is that: in this embodiment three, the number of partitions 21 is set to two, and the slots 301 are also set to two, with two placement cavities 4. The placement cavities 4 are larger so as to place large shoes.
[0046] Example 4:
[0047] See Figure 10 The difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment 4, the number of partitions 21 is set to 3, with 3 placement cavities 4. The placement cavities 4 are larger so as to place large shoes.
[0048] Example 5:
[0049] See Figure 11 The difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that: in this embodiment 5, the number of partitions 21 is set to 5, with 5 placement cavities 4. The size and number of placement cavities 4 are relatively balanced, which is suitable for cleaning scenarios with a moderate number and size of shoes.
[0050] Example 6:
[0051] See Figure 12 The difference between this sixth embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this sixth embodiment, the number of partitions 21 is set to 6, with 6 placement cavities 4. The number of placement cavities 4 is relatively large, which is suitable for cleaning scenarios with a large number of shoes (the setting method of 7 or more partitions 21 is the same as that of this sixth embodiment, and will not be described again here).
[0052] Example 7:
[0053] See Figure 13 The difference between this embodiment seven and embodiment one is that in this embodiment seven, the four placement cavities 4 formed by the four partitions 21 are divided into two large placement cavities 41 and two small placement cavities 42, so that shoes can be placed separately according to their size. Large shoes are placed in the large placement cavity 41 and small shoes are placed in the small placement cavity 42, which is convenient to use and meets the needs of washing shoes of different sizes for a family. Of course, in other embodiments, the size of each placement cavity can also be set to different sizes according to needs, which will not be elaborated here.
[0054] The shoe washing structure of this utility model uses a detachable partition to separate the rotating inner drum, allowing the shoes to rotate together with the drum during washing. The shoes are evenly distributed inside the drum, reducing swaying caused by eccentricity and improving dehydration efficiency. At the same time, the physical partition can effectively prevent shoes from being damaged by collision and protect the shoe surface. The structure is simple, low in cost, and does not affect the original functions of the dehydrator or washing machine, achieving dual-purpose functionality.
[0055] This utility model also provides a dehydrator, which includes the above-mentioned shoe washing structure. This dehydrator also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned shoe washing structure, which will not be described in detail here. The above-mentioned shoe washing structure can also be used as a shoe dehydration structure for dehydrating shoes.
[0056] In addition, this utility model also provides a washing machine, including the above-mentioned shoe washing structure. This washing machine also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned shoe washing structure, which will not be repeated here. The above-mentioned washing machine can be a fully automatic washing machine, a twin-tub semi-automatic washing machine, or other types of washing machines.
[0057] Additionally, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The present invention provides a fully automatic washing machine, wherein the rotating drum 1 is specifically the spin-drying drum of the fully automatic washing machine, the partition component 2 is configured to be non-removable, and the placement cavity 4 is used to place shoes or other suitable items to be washed.
