Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot drying machine technology, specifically a foot drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, personal hygiene and comfort are receiving more and more attention. Especially in places such as homes, bathrooms, changing rooms, swimming pools, and foot bath centers, how to dry feet quickly, safely, and hygienically after washing feet has become a common need for users. The traditional method is usually to wipe with a towel or let them air dry. However, this method is not only time-consuming, but also poses hygiene risks. Towels are prone to bacterial growth after prolonged use, and wiping can easily cause skin friction damage. Air drying is slow and can easily lead to cold feet, causing discomfort or even a cold.

[0003] Existing foot dryers still have certain shortcomings in design and function. First, the airflow direction is fixed and the drying is uneven. Traditional foot dryers usually use a fixed air outlet structure, which makes it impossible for the device to flexibly adjust the airflow direction according to the specific position or posture of the user's feet. This results in some areas not being dried thoroughly, affecting the drying effect and reducing comfort. At the same time, some devices neglect ergonomics in design. Users often need to bend over, stand on tiptoe, or adjust their posture to align the air outlet, making the user experience less user-friendly and convenient. In addition, most traditional foot dryers rely on mechanical buttons for operation and lack intelligent automatic sensing control functions. This means that the device cannot automatically start and stop based on the distance between the feet and the air outlet or the user's usage status, making the operation process cumbersome and reducing user convenience and comfort.

[0004] Therefore, existing equipment urgently needs to be optimized in terms of wind direction adjustment, ergonomic design, and intelligent control to improve the overall user experience and meet the growing personalized needs of users. Utility Model Content
