Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to an automatic shoe cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In modern homes, shoe cabinets are essential storage furniture for storing and managing the various shoes of family members. Traditional shoe cabinets typically use a multi-layered shelf design, which makes it inconvenient to retrieve shoes stored at higher levels. This poses a safety hazard for shorter individuals who need to climb to reach them. Consequently, the upper space of existing shoe cabinets is often used to store infrequently used shoes, reducing the space utilization rate. Furthermore, shoes stored in enclosed shoe cabinets for extended periods are prone to bacterial growth, dampness, mold, and unpleasant odors. Therefore, an automatic shoe cabinet has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic shoe cabinet to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses an automatic shoe cabinet, comprising a cabinet body. A horizontal partition is fixedly installed near the lower end of the cabinet body. A drawer for storing slippers is pulled out between the partition and the bottom plate of the cabinet body. An inner mounting plate and an outer mounting plate are fixedly installed parallel to each other between the partition and the top plate of the cabinet body. A circulating conveying mechanism is provided between the inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate. The circulating conveying mechanism includes two parallel connecting shafts rotatably disposed between the inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate. A conveying motor for driving one of the connecting shafts to rotate is provided in the middle of the inner side of the outer mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a circulating conveyor mechanism composed of chains, sprockets, and other components to transport shoes stored in multiple different shoe storage boxes. After the conveyor motor is started, the storage boxes, carrying shoes, move along a closed trajectory defined by the chain as the chain circulates, achieving orderly transport and relocation of the shoes. Users can retrieve shoes from or place them into the corresponding storage box through the retrieval port on the outer mounting plate. This design makes efficient use of the upper space of the shoe cabinet, breaking away from the traditional limitation of storing only infrequently used shoes on top of the cabinet, thus improving space utilization and making it very convenient to retrieve and place shoes. It is particularly user-friendly for elderly users and those with mobility issues. Furthermore, this invention features disinfection, dehumidification, and ventilation functions inside the shoe cabinet, preventing bacterial growth, mold, and strong odors from long-term storage.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an automatic shoe cabinet includes a cabinet body 1. A horizontal partition 2 is fixedly installed near the lower end of the cabinet body 1. A drawer 3 for storing slippers is installed between the partition 2 and the bottom plate of the cabinet body 1 by a pull-out method.

[0024] An inner mounting plate 4 and an outer mounting plate 5 are fixedly installed parallel to each other between the partition 2 and the top plate of the cabinet 1. A circulating conveying mechanism is provided between the inner mounting plate 4 and the outer mounting plate 5. The circulating conveying mechanism includes two parallel connecting shafts 6 rotatably mounted between the inner mounting plate 4 and the outer mounting plate 5. A conveying motor 7 for driving one of the connecting shafts 6 to rotate is installed in the middle of the inner side of the outer mounting plate 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, a speed reducer 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the outer mounting plate 5. The output shaft of the conveying motor 7 is connected to the input end of the speed reducer 8, and the output end of the speed reducer 8 is connected to the connecting shaft 6 located above. Specifically, a drive pulley 9 is installed at the output end of the speed reducer 8, and a driven pulley 10 is fitted in the middle of the connecting shaft 6. The drive pulley 9 and the driven pulley 10 are connected by a transmission belt 11.

[0026] Two sprockets 12 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on each of the two connecting shafts 6. A chain 13 is mounted between two corresponding sprockets 12 located at the same end of the two connecting shafts. Multiple shoe storage boxes 14 are evenly spaced between the outer peripheries of the two chains 13.

[0027] In this embodiment, two bearing seats 15 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper part of each shoe storage box 14. Each bearing seat 15 is equipped with a bearing, and an optical axis 16 is rotatably installed between the two bearing seats 15. The two ends of each optical axis 16 are respectively connected to triangular connecting sections 17 fixedly set on the two chains 13.

[0028] Multiple guide rollers 18 are rotatably mounted at even intervals between the side ends of the outer mounting plate 5 and the inner mounting plate 4, and on the upper part of the partition plate 2. Each guide roller 18 can contact the shoe storage box 14, ensuring the stability of the movement of the shoe storage box.

[0029] In this example, the outer mounting plate 5 has a shoe-retrieving opening 19 at the position directly opposite the bottom shoe storage box 14, and the outer mounting plate 5 is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the inside of the shoe cabinet.

[0030] The circulating conveying mechanism of this utility model adopts a chain-sprocket circulating transmission structure to transport shoes stored in multiple different shoe storage boxes. After the conveying motor is started, as the chain circulates, the shoe storage box carries the shoes and moves along the closed trajectory determined by the chain, realizing the orderly conveying and position transfer of shoes. Users can take out the shoes from the corresponding shoe storage box or put shoes into the shoe storage box through the shoe retrieval port on the outer mounting plate.

[0031] Two ultraviolet lamps 20 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the outer mounting plate 5, and an air heater 21 is installed above the two ultraviolet lamps 20. Specifically, the two ultraviolet lamps are UVC band lamps, which can sterilize and disinfect the shoes in the shoe storage box. The two air heaters act on the shoes with hot airflow, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and improving the moisture-proof and dehumidifying effect of the shoe cabinet. In addition, a ventilation opening is provided at the top of the outer mounting plate 5, and an exhaust fan 22 is installed inside the ventilation opening. An activated carbon filter is installed at the air outlet of the exhaust fan 22. Under the action of the exhaust fan, the stale air inside the shoe cabinet can be discharged, and the activated carbon filter physically adsorbs odor molecules, achieving an air purification effect.

[0032] Since slippers are frequently used and cleaned in daily life, this invention includes a drawer at the bottom of a shoe cabinet for storing slippers. As a further improvement, the drawer has an automatic shoe dispensing function. Specifically, two lead screws 23 are symmetrically mounted on the cabinet body 1 below the partition 2, and a drive motor 24 is also installed on the cabinet body 1 to drive the rotation of the corresponding lead screws 23. The two drive motors 24 are stepper motors and are coaxially connected to the corresponding lead screws 23 via couplings. Threaded sleeves 25, adapted to the corresponding lead screws 23, are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the two side walls of the drawer 3. When the two drive motors are started, the lead screws cooperate with the threaded sleeves on the symmetrical sides to convert the rotational motion of the drive motors into a linear thrust on the drawer, thereby causing the drawer to move in a straight line to automatically dispense shoes.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
