Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dryer technology, and specifically refers to a shoe support structure for a dryer. Background Technology

[0002] In humid environments, shoes with fleece linings are more prone to absorbing moisture and becoming damp. Accidents such as stepping into puddles can also cause significant water to enter the shoe, making it wet. In such cases, users will feel the shoes are cold and damp, resulting in a poor wearing experience. To address this, current technology typically integrates shoe supports (hereinafter referred to as "shoe trees") with the air outlet of household dryers. Shoe trees have a shape similar to the shoe itself, allowing the shoe to be placed upside down on them, and the hot air from the dryer will dry the inside of the shoe.

[0003] However, existing shoe trees have the following problems when used:

[0004] Because shoes are typically placed upside down on shoe trees, when there is a lot of moisture inside, the water flows down the shoe shaft. Due to surface tension, the inner wall of the shoe shaft presses tightly against the side wall of the shoe tree, creating a closed chamber inside the shoe. This restricts ventilation, causing heat to accumulate. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the hot air bursts through the opening in the shoe shaft, causing the dryer, shoe tree, and shoe to shake. After the hot air is released, the shoe shaft presses tightly against the side wall of the shoe tree again, and this cycle repeats. Therefore, during the drying process, poor ventilation can not only cause overheating inside the shoe, posing a safety hazard, but also make it difficult to dry the shoe shaft area. Furthermore, the frequent hot air bursts and shaking can generate noise, severely impacting the user experience. This problem is particularly pronounced when drying tall boots. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a shoe support structure for a dryer, which solves the problems existing in the prior art and avoids the problem of poor ventilation in the shoe shaft when drying shoes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A shoe support structure for a dryer includes a hollow shoe support body, the lower end of which is configured as a connecting portion, and the upper end of which is provided with at least one supporting portion; the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body are recessed to form first guide grooves; the upper end of the first guide groove extends to the supporting portion and is provided with at least one first connecting hole, the first connecting hole connecting to the shoe support body; the lower end of the first guide groove extends above the connecting portion.

[0008] The connecting part and the supporting part of the shoe support body are staggered in the vertical direction, and a connecting part is provided between the connecting part and the supporting part. The two ends of the connecting part are integrally formed with the connecting part and the supporting part, respectively.

[0009] At least one buckle is provided on the connecting part.

[0010] The front and rear side walls of the shoe support body are provided with a number of ribs extending in the vertical direction, and a second guide groove is formed between adjacent ribs. The upper end of the second guide groove is provided with at least one second connecting hole, which connects to the shoe support body.

[0011] Preferably, the second guide grooves on the front and rear side walls of the shoe support body correspond one-to-one with and are connected to the top surface of the shoe support body.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end width of the ribs on at least one side wall of the front and rear side walls of the shoe support body is greater than the upper end width.

[0013] The number of the support parts is two, and they are located on the upper front side and the upper rear side of the connecting part, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, the two first guide grooves of the shoe support body are connected above the connecting portion.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0016] The key to this invention is the provision of first guide channels on the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body, creating a recessed surface structure. Since the lateral distance of the shoe shaft (especially in tall boots) is usually shorter than its front-to-back distance, the left and right sidewalls of the shoe shaft tend to stick more easily to the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body, making drying difficult. With the first guide channels, the recessed surfaces of the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body prevent the shoe shaft from sticking tightly due to water or the elasticity of the shoe shaft, allowing hot air to circulate smoothly during drying. This improves drying efficiency and avoids safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model discloses a shoe support structure for a dryer, including a hollow shoe support body 1. The lower end of the shoe support body 1 is configured as a connecting part 11, which is used to connect to the air outlet 21 of the dryer 2. The upper end of the shoe support body 1 is provided with at least one support part 12, which presses against the inner wall of the shoe when the shoe is upside down to achieve upside-down hanging. Specifically, in use, the connecting part 11 of the shoe support body 1 is inserted into the air outlet 21 of the dryer 2, so that the shoe support body 1 is fixed on the dryer 2. The hot air output by the dryer 2 enters the shoe support body 1 through the air outlet 21 and the connecting part 11 and flows upward to the position of the support part 12.

[0029] The left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body 1 are recessed to form a first guide groove 13; the upper end of the first guide groove 13 extends to the support part 12 and is provided with at least one first connecting hole 131, the first connecting hole 131 connecting to the inside of the shoe support body 1; the lower end of the first guide groove 13 extends to the top of the connecting part 11.

[0030] The key to this invention is the provision of first guide channels 13 on the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body 1, creating a recessed surface structure. Since the shoe shaft of a shoe (especially a tall boot) is typically shorter laterally than front-to-back, the left and right sidewalls of the shoe shaft tend to stick more easily to the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body 1, making drying difficult. With the first guide channels 13, the recessed surfaces of the left and right sidewalls of the shoe support body 1 prevent the shoe shaft from sticking tightly due to water or the elasticity of the shoe shaft, allowing hot air to circulate smoothly during drying, thus improving drying efficiency and avoiding safety hazards.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting portion 11 and the supporting portion 12 of the shoe support body 1 are staggered in the vertical direction, and a curved connecting portion 14 is provided between the connecting portion 11 and the supporting portion 12. The two ends of the connecting portion 14 are integrally formed with the connecting portion 11 and the supporting portion 12, respectively. Therefore, when using the shoe support body 1 to support the shoe, the overall center of gravity of the shoe support body 1 and the shoe can be adjusted, making the structure more stable and less prone to tipping over.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least one buckle 111 is provided on the above-mentioned connecting part 11 for elastically hooking onto the inner wall of the air outlet 21 to achieve buckle connection, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the lower end of the shoe support body 1 and the dryer 2.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first embodiment of the present invention is shown in the figure.

[0034] In the first embodiment, only one support portion 12 is provided.

[0035] In the first embodiment, the front and rear sidewalls of the shoe support body 1 are provided with a plurality of ribs 15 extending in the vertical direction. A second guide groove 16 is formed between adjacent ribs 15. At least one second connecting hole 161 is provided at the upper end of the second guide groove 16, and the second connecting hole 161 connects to the inside of the shoe support body 1. Thus, the front, rear, left, and right sidewalls of the shoe support body 1 are provided with guide grooves, allowing hot air to flow in more directions, resulting in more drying directions and higher efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the second guide grooves 16 on the front and rear side walls of the shoe support body 1 correspond one-to-one with and are connected to each other on the top surface of the shoe support body 1.

[0037] Meanwhile, the lower end of the rib 15 on at least one side wall of the shoe support body 1 is wider than its upper end (i.e., the lower end is widened), so that the upper part of the connecting part 11 of the shoe support body 1 has a larger front and back width, which can open up the shoe shaft, facilitate the circulation of heat, and prevent the opening of the shoe shaft from being blocked by the long hair on its inner wall.

[0038] In the first embodiment, the shoe support body 1 is designed as a front body 1a and a rear body 1b, which facilitates the molding of the inner cavity of the shoe support body 1 and does not affect the design of the ribs 15 on the front and rear side walls; the front body 1a and the rear body 1b are connected by a snap-fit ​​to achieve quick assembly and positioning, and are locked with bolts / screws.

[0039] refer to Figures 5 to 6 As shown, a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.

[0040] In the second embodiment, two support portions 12 are provided, located on the upper front side and upper rear side of the connecting portion 11 respectively, so that the shoe support body 1 presents an approximately Y shape.

[0041] In the second embodiment, the two first guide grooves 13 of the shoe support body 1 are connected above the connecting portion 11.

[0042] In the second embodiment, the shoe support body 1 is designed as a left body 1c and a right body 1d to facilitate the molding of the inner cavity of the shoe support body 1; the left body 1c and the right body 1d are connected by a snap-fit ​​to achieve quick assembly and positioning, and are locked in place using bolts / screws.

[0043] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
