Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a shoe changing cabinet for a sterile workshop. Background Technology

[0002] Existing sterile workshops in factories use traditional shoe cabinets, which primarily focus on storage. Shoes to be changed and shoes worn by employees are placed in the same compartment, lacking specific consideration for hygiene and health. Some shoe cabinets have attempted to introduce ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, but the following significant problems remain: Low sterilization efficiency: UV lamps are installed in a single location or have limited coverage, resulting in ineffective sterilization of hard-to-reach areas inside shoes. Furthermore, the lack of an air circulation system makes it difficult to expel moisture and odors, further promoting bacterial growth. Complex circuit design: Scattered wiring, with exposed or haphazardly routed wires, easily causes short circuits, electrical leaks, and other safety hazards, and also incurs high maintenance costs. Inadequate space utilization: Fixed shoe compartment designs and unreasonable allocation of space between upper and lower layers fail to accommodate different shoe sizes, leading to wasted space or inconvenience in retrieval. Lack of intelligent features: The sterilization function requires manual switching and cannot automatically adjust its operating mode according to usage scenarios, resulting in a poor user experience. Poor sealing: Shoe compartment doors do not close tightly, allowing external dust and moisture to easily enter, affecting sterilization effectiveness and the internal environment of the shoe cabinet.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0019] This utility model provides a sterile workshop shoe changing cabinet, including a rectangular body 1. The body 1 has an upper row of shoe compartments 4a and a lower row of shoe compartments 4b. The front opening of the upper row of shoe compartments 4a and the rear opening of the lower row of shoe compartments 4b are respectively closed by a back panel 5. Both the upper row of shoe compartments 4a and the lower row of shoe compartments 4b are equipped with ultraviolet germicidal lamps 18. The top of the outer side of the back panel 5 of the upper row of shoe compartments 4a is provided with a bus groove 12. The bus groove 12 extends along the length of the body 1 and is connected to each shoe compartment 4 in the upper row of shoe compartments 4a and the lower row of shoe compartments 4b through multiple branch grooves 11. A bus 16 is installed in the bus groove 12, and a branch line 17 is installed in the branch groove 11 to connect the bus 16 to the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 18. A controller 3 and an exhaust fan 2 are installed on the side of the body 1. The controller 3 is connected to the bus groove 12 through a line, and the air inlet of the exhaust fan 2 is connected to the bus groove 12 through a pipe. The rectangular main body 1 has upper and lower shoe compartments 4a and 4b inside, with the openings closed by the back panel 5 to form independent storage spaces. A main bus channel 12 extends along the length of the main body, connecting the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 18 in each shoe compartment via branch cable channels 11. A controller 3 centrally controls power distribution, and an air extractor 2 draws in air through the main bus channel 12 to achieve internal circulation. The split shoe compartment design optimizes space utilization; the integrated wiring in the main bus channel simplifies circuit connections and reduces the failure rate; the air extractor promotes air circulation and enhances sterilization efficiency; and the controller enables intelligent management and improves operational convenience.

[0020] Furthermore, a base plate 7 is fixedly attached to the top of the main body 1. The edge of the base plate 7 extends beyond the main body 1 and is stamped into a rectangular flange. One flange connects to the back plate 5 to form a bus groove 12, and the other flange connects to the top of the limiting baffle 14. The base plate 7 is connected to the back plate 5 and the limiting baffle 14 through the rectangular flange, forming a closed structure of the bus groove 12. At the same time, the limiting baffle 14 fixes the edge position of the base plate. The flange design enhances the structural strength between the base plate and the main body, preventing deformation; the limiting baffle ensures the stability of the bus groove, preventing cables from loosening or falling off.

[0021] Furthermore, the shoe compartment 4 has a door 8 at its opening, with one end of the door 8 hinged to the top and bottom of the shoe compartment 4 respectively. A handle 9 is fixed to the outer surface of the door 8. The door 8 can be opened and closed in both directions through the hinge points at the top and bottom. The handle 9 is centered on one side relative to the hinge point, making it easy for the user to apply force for operation. The two-way opening and closing adapts to different retrieval and placement scenarios, improving flexibility; the handle is ergonomic, making operation effortless; and a sealing strip is set on the inner edge of the door to ensure that external contamination is blocked when closed.

[0022] Furthermore, a base plate is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1, and the two sides of the base plate are machined into downward-facing flanges to form support feet 15. The downward-facing flanges on both sides of the base plate form support feet 15, which provide support force in contact with the ground and distribute the weight of the main body. The flange structure increases the compressive strength of the base plate, and the integral molding with the base plate improves the stability of the connection and prevents deformation; the support feet enhance the overall stability, adapt to uneven ground, and reduce the risk of slippage.

[0023] Furthermore, a mounting plate 13 is connected between the edges where the back panel 5 and the shoe rack 4 meet, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 18 is mounted on the mounting plate 13. The mounting plate 13 is fixed between the back panel 5 and the shoe rack 4, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 18 is vertically mounted on the mounting plate, covering the internal space of the shoe rack. The mounting plate standardizes the lamp position to ensure uniform irradiation; the modular design facilitates lamp replacement and maintenance, reducing operating costs.

[0024] The inner edge of the lattice door 8 is provided with an annular silicone sealing strip.

[0025] Furthermore, through holes are machined between the main cable tray 12 and the branch cable tray 11 and the shoe rack. The through holes connect the cable tray and the shoe rack, allowing the cable tray to act as a protective component for the wires while providing an air duct between the exhaust fan and the shoe rack. At the same time, the exhaust fan can extract the heat generated during the power supply process of the wires, thereby increasing the service life of the wires and improving the stability of the sterilization system.

[0026] Furthermore, the branch cable tray 11 extends vertically downwards from the main cable tray 12 and from the top of the lower shoe rack 4b to the back plate 5. Vertical cabling saves lateral space, optimizes the internal layout of the device, and ensures even power distribution between the upper and lower shoe racks, avoiding voltage attenuation.
