Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe cleaning technology, specifically to a shoe washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Shoe washing machines are washing devices specifically designed to clean shoes. The washing chamber of a shoe washing machine typically contains fixed brushes, which are used to rotate the shoes via a pulsator or shoe rack to achieve the cleaning effect. However, because the brushes are fixed in position, certain areas (such as the toe, the inside of the heel, and around the shoelace holes) are difficult to fully contact with the brushes due to angle or positional limitations. This makes it difficult to thoroughly clean these areas, requiring multiple cycles or manual assistance to achieve satisfactory cleaning results, significantly impacting overall cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems:

[0004] In some shoe washing machines on the market, because the brushes are fixed in position, when shoes rotate inside the washing chamber with the impeller or shoe rack, specific areas such as the toe, the inside of the heel, and around the shoelace holes often fail to make sufficient contact with the fixed brushes due to angle or position limitations. This makes it difficult to thoroughly remove stains from these areas. To achieve satisfactory cleaning results, users have to perform multiple washing cycles and may even need to manually clean these hard-to-reach areas after washing. This undoubtedly increases the time and effort required for cleaning and seriously affects the overall cleaning efficiency of the shoe washing machine.

[0005] Furthermore, shoes not only have hard-to-reach cleaning nooks, but different parts may also be made of different materials and have varying degrees of dirt. For example, the upper may be smooth leather, while the area around the eyelets may be made of fabric that easily accumulates dust; the toe box may be particularly dirty due to frequent contact with the ground, while the inside of the heel may be relatively clean. Faced with these complex and varied cleaning needs, the existing fixed brush design is clearly insufficient to provide targeted cleaning. In other words, it cannot automatically adjust the brushing intensity and method according to the shoe's material and the dirty areas, thus failing to ensure cleaning effectiveness while avoiding unnecessary damage to the shoes.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a shoe washing machine that can more flexibly and accurately adapt to the cleaning needs of shoes, and improve cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0007] The shoe washing machine provided in this embodiment includes a housing, a rotating assembly, and a brush assembly. The housing has a shoe washing chamber. The rotating assembly is mounted on the housing and includes a rotating frame and a first driver. The rotating frame is rotatable relative to the housing about a straight line in a first direction. The output end of the first driver is connected to the rotating frame. The brush assembly includes a brush holder, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a second driver. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are parallel and of equal length. One end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rotating frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the brush holder. One end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rotating frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the brush holder. The brush holder is provided with a cleaning brush. The second driver drives the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod to rotate about a straight line in a second direction relative to the rotating frame, thereby moving the brush holder and the cleaning brush within the shoe washing chamber.

[0008] In summary, the shoe washing machine provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of the rotating component and the brush component, allows the cleaning brush to move freely within the shoe washing chamber, achieving comprehensive cleaning of shoes. This allows for more flexible and precise adaptation to shoe cleaning needs, helping to improve cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0015] In some embodiments, the third gear is configured as a second sector gear, the curvature of which is consistent with the rotation angle of the rotating frame.

[0016] In some embodiments, the shoe washing machine further includes a limiting module, which is electrically connected to the first driver.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a shoe washing machine 100, which includes a housing 10, a rotating assembly 20, and a brush assembly 30. The housing 10 has a shoe washing chamber 11. The rotating assembly 20 is mounted on the housing 10 and includes a rotating frame 21 and a first driver 22. The rotating frame 21 is rotatable relative to the housing 10 about a straight line in a first direction, and the output end of the first driver 22 is connected to the rotating frame 21. The brush assembly 30 includes a brush holder 31, a first connecting rod 32, a second connecting rod 33, and a second driver 34. The first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are parallel and of equal length. One end of the first connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the brush holder 31. One end of the second connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the brush holder 31. The brush holder 31 is equipped with a cleaning brush 36. The second driver 34 is used to drive the first link 32 or the second link 33 to rotate relative to the rotating frame 21 around the straight line of the second direction, so as to drive the brush holder 31 and the cleaning brush 36 to move in the shoe washing cavity 11.

[0038] Specifically, the brush assembly 30 is mounted on the housing 10 via the rotating assembly 20. Driven by the first driver 22 and the second driver 34, the cleaning brush 36 can move freely within the shoe washing chamber 11 to reach any position within the chamber, thereby achieving effective cleaning of the shoes within the chamber. That is, during the shoe cleaning process, especially for cleaning a specific area of ​​the shoe (such as the toe, shoelace holes, or other dirty areas), the first driver 22 and the second driver 34 can drive the cleaning brush 36 to that area via the rotating frame 21 and the brush assembly 30, achieving effective cleaning of that specific area. This allows for more flexible and precise adaptation to shoe cleaning needs, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness. It should be noted that the shoe washing machine 100 provided by this invention is not only suitable for cleaning specific areas of shoes but also for cleaning the entire shoe.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotating frame 21, the first connecting rod 32, the brush holder 31, and the second connecting rod 33 can form a parallelogram structure, allowing the cleaning brush 36 to maintain a stable movement trajectory. That is, the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are located between the rotating frame 21 and the brush holder 31, with their ends connected to the rotating frame 21 and the brush holder 31, respectively. During operation, the second driver 34 can drive the brush holder 31 to translate in a first direction via the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33, ensuring that the cleaning brush 36 always maintains a single direction and ensuring stable operation of the cleaning brush 36.

[0040] In summary, the shoe washing machine 100 provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of the rotating component 20 and the brush component 30, allows the cleaning brush 36 to move freely within the shoe washing chamber 11, achieving comprehensive cleaning of shoes. This allows for more flexible and precise adaptation to shoe cleaning needs, helping to improve cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0041] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an inner shell 12, an outer shell 13, and a door 14. The inner shell 12 is located inside the outer shell 13 and has an opening 121. The door 14 is closable at the opening 121 to open and close the shoe washing chamber 11, facilitating the insertion and removal of shoes and preventing detergent or water from overflowing into the shoe washing chamber 11 during the washing process. The rotating frame 21 can be located in a corner of the housing 10, making full use of the space inside the housing 10 and allowing the rotating frame 21 to have a larger range of motion when rotating, thereby enabling the brush assembly 30 to move more flexibly and comprehensively within the shoe washing chamber 11. This also prevents the rotating frame 21 from interfering with other components inside the housing 10 during rotation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the shoe washing machine 100.

[0042] Specifically, when the shoe washing machine 100 starts working, the first driver 22 drives the rotating frame 21 to rotate around the straight line of the first direction. Since the rotating frame 21 is located in the corner of the housing 10, its rotation can drive the brush assembly 30 to form a larger sweeping area in the shoe washing chamber 11, thereby ensuring that the cleaning brush 36 can cover every part of the shoe. At the same time, the second driver 34 drives the first link 32 or the second link 33 to rotate relative to the rotating frame 21 around the straight line of the second direction, further adjusting the position and angle of the brush frame 31 and the cleaning brush 36, so that they can more accurately conform to the shape of the shoe and the distribution of dirt.

[0043] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the first direction is the height direction of the housing 10 (i.e., the vertical direction of the housing 10), and the second direction is the horizontal direction of the housing 10 (i.e., the horizontal plane on which the housing 10 is located). The horizontal direction includes the front-back direction and the left-right direction. During operation, the first driver 22 drives the rotating frame 21 to swing relative to the housing 10 in the horizontal direction of the housing 10, and the second driver 34 can drive the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to swing in the height direction of the housing 10.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating frame 21 is provided with a first rotating shaft 211, which extends along a straight line in the second direction. Both the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 have a rotating hole 321, and the first rotating shaft 211 passes through the rotating hole 321. At least one of the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 is provided with a first gear 322, and the output end of the second driver 34 is provided with a second gear 341. The first gear 322 and the second gear 341 mesh, which helps to improve transmission accuracy.

[0045] Specifically, when the position or angle of the cleaning brush 36 needs to be adjusted, the second driver 34 will activate and drive the second gear 341 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the second gear 341 and the first gear 322, the first gear 322 will rotate accordingly, driving the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 211, thereby driving the brush holder 31 and the cleaning brush 36 to move within the shoe washing chamber 11, achieving precise cleaning of different parts of the shoe by the cleaning brush 36.

[0046] Furthermore, the first gear 322 is configured as a first sector gear, and the curvature of the first sector gear is consistent with the rotation angle of the first connecting rod 32. That is, the tooth surface of the first sector gear only covers a portion of the circumference to form a specific curvature. When the second driver 34 drives the second gear 341 to rotate, the second gear 341 meshes with the first sector gear. Due to the curvature limitation of the tooth surface of the first sector gear, the rotation angle of the first connecting rod 32 is strictly limited to a preset range. The preset range can be set according to actual needs, for example, 0° to 30°, 0° to 60°, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, the physical limit formed by the first sector gear ensures that the movement range of the cleaning brush 36 within the shoe washing chamber 11 is effectively controlled. During the shoe washing process, the cleaning brush 36 needs to cover all parts of the shoe, but it does not need to rotate without restriction. By setting the curvature of the first sector gear, the maximum rotation angle of the cleaning brush 36 can be precisely controlled, preventing it from exceeding the necessary working range, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

[0048] Furthermore, the first gear 322 is also a face gear, which can convert the rotational motion of the second gear 341 into the oscillating motion of the first connecting rod 32 or the second connecting rod 33, and can also reduce the impact and vibration during the transmission process.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 32 is positioned above the second connecting rod 33 in the height direction of the housing 10, and the first gear 322 is mounted on the first connecting rod 32. The first gear 322 can be detachably mounted on the first connecting rod 32 via a threaded structure. Of course, in some embodiments, the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32 can also be integrated. Alternatively, the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32 can be connected by means of snap-fit, welding, or other methods.

[0050] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 32 includes a rod body 323 and a boss 324. The boss 324 is provided with a threaded hole, and the second gear 341 is provided with a through hole. One end of the stud can pass through the through hole and be threaded into the threaded hole, thereby connecting the first gear 322 and the first connecting rod 32. This not only ensures a secure fixation but also facilitates disassembly.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating frame 21 includes a first plate 212 and a second plate 213 arranged opposite to each other. A receiving cavity 214 is provided between the first plate 212 and the second plate 213. A first rotating shaft 211 is disposed in the receiving cavity 214. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 211 are correspondingly connected to the first plate 212 and the second plate 213, so that the ends of the first connecting rod 32 and the second connecting rod 33 are both received in the receiving cavity 214.

[0052] Optionally, the first plate 212 and the second plate 213 can be joined by a threaded connection.

[0053] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a mounting platform 15, and the mounting platform 15 is provided with a second rotating shaft 151, which extends along a straight line in the first direction. The rotating frame 21 also includes a third gear 215, which is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 151. A fourth gear 221 is provided on the output end of the first driver 22, and the third gear 215 meshes with the fourth gear 221.

[0054] Specifically, when a specific area of ​​the shoe needs to be cleaned, the first drive 22 activates and drives the fourth gear 221 to rotate. The fourth gear 221, through its meshing with the third gear 215, transmits power to the rotating frame 21, causing the rotating frame 21 to oscillate around the second rotating shaft 151. This drives the brush assembly 30 (including the cleaning brush 36) to move synchronously within the shoe washing chamber 11, thereby precisely moving the cleaning brush 36 to the area to be cleaned. This achieves precise cleaning of different parts of the shoe, helping to improve cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, the third gear 215 is configured as a second sector gear, the curvature of which matches the rotation angle of the rotating frame 21. Similar to the first sector gear provided in the above embodiment, the second sector gear's tooth surface only covers a portion of the circumference, forming a specific curvature. That is, when the fourth gear 221 drives the second sector gear to rotate, the rotation range of the rotating frame 21 is strictly limited to a preset angle. Similarly, the second sector gear can be configured as needed, for example, 0° to 30°, 0° to 60°, etc.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first plate 212 of the rotating frame 21 is provided with a plug-in block 2121, and the third gear 215 is provided with a slot 2151 that matches the plug-in block 2121. The plug-in block 2121 is elongated, which can provide sufficient contact area and friction, effectively preventing loosening or slippage during relative movement. At the same time, the elongated shape also helps to disperse stress and reduce the risk of structural damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with a limiting platform 16, which is correspondingly arranged with the mounting platform 15. The limiting platform 16 is provided with a limiting hole, and the rotating frame 21 has a third rotating shaft 2131, which passes through the limiting hole. That is, in the height direction of the housing 10, the limiting platform 16 is located above the mounting platform 15, thereby limiting the rotating frame 21 in the height direction and ensuring that the rotating frame 21 can rotate stably. In this embodiment, the third rotating shaft 2131 is provided on the second plate 213.

[0058] Furthermore, the limiting platform 16 is also equipped with a rotating bearing 161, part of which can be housed within the limiting hole. The third rotating shaft 2131 passes through the inner hole of the rotating bearing 161, which not only reduces energy loss due to friction and lowers the wear rate of mechanical parts, extending the service life of the shoe washing machine 100, but also improves the stability of the rotating frame 21 during operation. Moreover, due to the supporting effect of the bearing, the rotating frame 21 maintains a more stable posture when rotating around the third rotating shaft 2131, reducing noise and vibration caused by shaking or deviation. This not only improves the overall performance of the shoe washing machine 100 but also provides users with a more comfortable user experience.

[0059] In this embodiment, the limiting platform 16 is located on the top of the housing 10. The upper end of the rotating frame 21 is attached to the limiting platform 16, and the lower end of the rotating frame 21 is attached to the mounting platform 15. This not only ensures stable support for the rotating frame 21 in the height direction, but also effectively prevents the rotating frame 21 from shaking or deviating during operation through the friction between the limiting platform 16 and the rotating frame 21. At the same time, the limiting platform 16 also plays a role in precise positioning, restricting the range of motion of the rotating frame 21 in the height direction, thereby ensuring that the rotating frame 21 can rotate smoothly along a predetermined trajectory.

[0060] Optionally, the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 are flat plate structures, and can be installed onto the inner housing 12 via a threaded structure. That is, the inner housing 12 has threaded holes, and the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 are securely installed into the threaded holes of the inner housing 12 using studs to achieve installation and fixation. This method is not only simple and quick, but also ensures that the mounting platform 15 and the limiting platform 16 maintain stable performance during long-term use, effectively preventing mechanical failures caused by loosening or detachment.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes a limiting module 40, which is electrically connected to the first driver 22. The limiting module 40 includes a first position sensor 41 and a second position sensor 42, which are spaced apart on the mounting platform 15 around the second rotating shaft 151. This not only ensures that the sensors can comprehensively and accurately capture the position changes of the rotating frame 21 during rotation, but also effectively avoids blind spots or errors that may occur due to a single sensor through their spaced arrangement.

[0062] The first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 can detect the rotation angle and position of the rotating frame 21 around the second rotating shaft 151 in real time and accurately. When the rotating frame 21 rotates to a preset position during the cleaning process, the sensor will immediately feed this information back to the first driver 22. The first driver 22 then quickly adjusts its output state according to the received signal, thereby controlling the rotation speed, direction, or stop position of the rotating frame 21, which can improve the control accuracy of the cleaning process and help improve the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0063] Optionally, the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 can be configured as limit switches or inductive grating sensors. When the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 are configured as limit switches, the first position sensor 41 and the second position sensor 42 can be respectively located at the first limit position and the second limit position of the rotating frame 21 in the horizontal direction to avoid the rotating frame 21 being over-rotated.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes a shoe holder 50, which is disposed within the shoe washing chamber 11. The shoe holder 50 has a support surface 51, which faces the bottom of the shoe washing chamber 11. The cleaning brush 36 is movable and conforms to the support surface 51. That is, during the washing process, the cleaning brush 36 will reciprocate or rotate along the support surface 51 of the shoe holder 50 to thoroughly and deeply clean all parts of the shoe. This not only ensures that the cleaning brush 36 can closely contact the surface of the shoe, improving the thoroughness of the cleaning, but also, through the support of the shoe holder 50, allows the cleaning brush 36 to maintain a stable posture and direction during movement.

[0065] Furthermore, during the movement of the cleaning brush 36, the cleaning brush 36 is always set along the height direction of the box 10, so that the cleaning brush 36 can make full use of the space inside the shoe washing chamber 11 to achieve a thorough cleaning of the shoes from top to bottom, which helps to reduce the cleaning dead corners caused by the gap between the cleaning brush 36 and the surface of the shoes.

[0066] Furthermore, the cleaning brush 36 includes a spherical brush head 361 and a third actuator 362. The third actuator 362 is mounted on the brush holder 31, and the spherical brush head 361 is located at the output end of the third actuator 362. The spherical brush head 361 can adapt to irregular surfaces on shoes, such as the curved surfaces of the toe, heel, and sides, and can effectively remove stubborn stains along the seams and textures of the shoe.

[0067] The third actuator 362 drives the ball-shaped brush head 361 to rotate, improving the cleaning efficiency of shoes. Especially for heavily soiled areas, the third actuator 362 can drive the ball-shaped brush head 361 to rotate, allowing it to perform continuous, high-intensity rotary cleaning in that area. This targeted cleaning method concentrates cleaning power, precisely targeting stubborn stains, thus significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0068] Optionally, the ball brush head 361 and the output of the third driver 362 can be connected in a detachable manner, such as by a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the ball brush head 361.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe support 50 includes a heel portion 52, a middle portion 53, and a toe portion 54. The middle portion 53 is provided with a first guide strip 531 and a second guide strip 532. The extending direction of the first guide strip 531 is opposite to the extending direction of the second guide strip 532. The heel portion 52 has a first guide groove 521 that matches the first guide strip 531, and the toe portion 54 has a second guide groove 541 that matches the second guide strip 532. During the use of the shoe support 50, the sliding engagement between the first guide strip 531 and the first guide groove 521, and the sliding engagement between the second guide strip 532 and the second guide groove 541, allows the shoe support 50 to stretch or contract in both directions during size adjustment, thereby more flexibly adapting to shoes of different sizes.

[0070] Furthermore, the middle part 53 is provided with a guide gear 533, the heel part 52 has a first rack 522 that meshes with the guide gear 533, and the toe part 54 has a second rack 542 that meshes with the guide gear 533. The first rack 522 and the second rack 542 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the guide gear 533, so that during the adjustment process, the operator only needs to pull the heel part 52 or the toe part 54 to achieve bidirectional extension and retraction through the guide gear 533. The toe part 54 is provided with a first groove 543 for receiving the first rack 522, and the heel part 52 is provided with a second groove 523 for receiving the second rack 542.

[0071] In other words, during the adjustment of the shoe support 50, the operator does not need to perform complex disassembly or assembly operations; they only need to gently pull the heel 52 or the toe 54. When the heel 52 or the toe 54 is pulled, the first rack 522 or the second rack 542 will move accordingly, and through its meshing with the guide gear 533, the linear motion is converted into the rotational motion of the guide gear 533. The rotation of the guide gear 533 will then drive the first rack 522 or the second rack 542 on the other side to move in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the bidirectional extension and retraction of the shoe support 50. This not only simplifies the shoe support 50 size adjustment process, allowing the operator to easily and quickly complete the adjustment, but also ensures that once the shoe support 50 is adjusted to the desired size, it maintains a stable support state and will not easily change size due to external forces.

[0072] Furthermore, the shoe support 50 also includes a shoe tree 55, which has an arc-shaped structure, with one end of the shoe tree 55 rotatably connected to the middle part 53. In this embodiment, the middle part 53 is provided with a movable cavity 534, and a fourth rotating shaft 535 is provided inside the movable cavity 534. One end of the shoe tree 55 is provided with a mounting hole, and the fourth rotating shaft 535 is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes a shoe rack 61 and a fourth drive. The shoe rack 61 includes a rotating disk 611 and multiple support rods 612. The rotating disk 611 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. The output end of the fourth drive is connected to the rotating disk 611 in a transmission manner. The shoe support 50 is disposed on the support rod 612. The shoe support 50 and the support rod 612 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the rotating disk 611 can rotate freely in the housing 10, thereby driving the entire shoe rack 61 to perform circular motion. This not only provides a more uniform and comprehensive cleaning effect for the shoes, but also makes it more convenient for users to place or take out shoes.

[0074] Furthermore, the first drive 22, the second drive 34, and the fourth drive can be used in combination to quickly move the cleaning brush 36 to the area of ​​the shoe to be cleaned, which helps to improve cleaning efficiency and make the cleaning more even.

[0075] Furthermore, the rotating disk 611 is equipped with a first pulley 613, and the output end of the fourth driver is equipped with a second pulley. The first pulley 613 and the second pulley are connected by a belt. The belt drive has a certain elastic buffering effect, which can absorb and disperse the impact and vibration during the transmission process to a certain extent, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire transmission system.

[0076] In this embodiment, two support rods 612 are provided. A rotating disk 611 is located at the bottom of the housing 10. The rotating disk 611 has a first protrusion 6111 and a second protrusion 6112, which are symmetrically arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating disk 611. The two support rods 612 are respectively located on the first protrusion and the second protrusion, thereby increasing the gap between the two support rods 612, and further increasing the gap between the two shoe supports 50, thus preventing the shoes on the two shoe supports 50 from interfering with each other during the washing process.

[0077] Furthermore, the support rod 612 is provided with a threaded section, and the shoe support 50 may be provided with a threaded hole, which can be matched with the threaded section of the support rod 612. During the installation of the shoe support 50, the shoe support is installed through the mutual cooperation of the threaded hole and the threaded section.

[0078] In some embodiments, the shoe washing machine 100 further includes an air supply assembly 70, which includes a fan 71 and an air duct 72. An air outlet 122 is provided on the housing 10. The two ends of the air duct 72 are connected to the air outlet of the fan 71 and the air outlet 122 to deliver the airflow generated by the fan 71 into the housing 10. The air outlet 122 is positioned towards the support surface 51 of the shoe support 50, so that when the fan 71 is activated, the generated airflow can directly act on the surface of the shoe, thereby accelerating the dehydration speed of the shoe.

[0079] During the operation of the shoe washing machine 100, when the fourth drive rotates the shoe rack 61 and the shoes on it, the air supply component 70 is activated simultaneously. At this time, the airflow generated by the fan 71 is delivered to the air outlet 122 through the air duct 72 and acts directly on the surface of the rotating shoes. This dynamic air supply method not only accelerates the airflow speed on the surface of the shoes, but also helps the shoes dry faster through the impact and friction of the airflow. At the same time, because the shoes can receive airflow from all directions during rotation, the dehydration effect is more even and thorough.

[0080] Furthermore, the air supply assembly 70 also includes a plasma generator 73, which is located within the air duct 72. When the airflow generated by the fan 71 passes through the air duct 72, the plasma generator 73 is activated simultaneously, generating a large number of positive and negative ions. These ions are transported along with the airflow to the air outlet 122 and ultimately act on the air on the surface of the shoes and inside the housing 10, effectively removing odors from the shoes and the housing 10.

[0081] It should be noted that in this application, the rotational connections between the components can all be achieved using bearing structures, thereby reducing wear and improving rotational stability. In the embodiments provided in this application, the first driver 22, the second driver 34, the third driver 362, and the fourth driver can be components such as motors and pneumatic motors.
