Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to a shoe cleaning device, and more specifically, to a shoe deodorizing ball. [Background technology]
[0002] In the prior art, the main causes of bad shoe odor are as follows:
[0003] The soles of the feet have more sweat glands than other parts of the body, so they tend to sweat more than other parts of the body. When the soles of the feet sweat a lot, the moisture, salt, fat, protein, and other components contained in the sweat provide a rich source of nutrition for bacteria, causing a large number of various bacteria to grow inside the shoes. This is what causes bad odors.
[0004] Poor breathability of shoes is also one of the causes of bad odors. Shoes made with materials that are poorly breathable or that are tightly sealed have a structure that makes it difficult for outside air to circulate inside, making the inside of the shoes prone to becoming stuffy. The rise in humidity and temperature inside such shoes creates an environment suitable for the growth of bacteria. Bacteria break down the components in sweat and multiply in large numbers inside the shoes, causing unpleasant odors.
[0005] The warm, moist environment inside shoes is ideal for bacterial growth, especially for bacteria that can break down the organic matter in sweat. In the process of multiplication, these bacteria produce a variety of chemicals, some of which are associated with unpleasant odors.
[0006] To eliminate bad shoe odors, several deodorizing products have been developed in the prior art. Examples include silver ion sprays and deodorizing packs. These deodorizing products are typically placed inside shoes or on shoe racks to eliminate bad odors by releasing deodorizing agents and absorbing moisture. Shoe deodorizing balls primarily utilize adsorbents such as activated carbon, bamboo charcoal, and minerals to absorb moisture, bad odors, and bacteria inside shoes. Furthermore, some deodorizing products contain plant extracts and fragrances to provide additional deodorizing effects and a refreshing feeling.
[0007] However, silver ion sprays have the disadvantage of being expensive to install. Furthermore, when silver ion sprays are used, they may have harmful effects on the respiratory system. When deodorizing packs are used, they are not effective because they are only used for a short period of time. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Those skilled in the art should understand the specific meaning of these terms in the description of the present invention according to each individual situation. Below, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the overall structure of the present invention.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, a shoe deodorizing ball comprises two detachably connectable deodorizing balls 1, a towing rope 2, and a detachable part. The two deodorizing balls 1 are connected to each other via the towing rope 2. A partition plate 3 is provided inside the deodorizing ball 1, dividing the deodorizing ball 1 into multiple spaces. A first volatilization cover 4 or a second volatilization cover 5 is movably connected to one end of the deodorizing ball 1. The first volatilization cover 4 or the second volatilization cover 5 has volatilization ports corresponding in number and position to the multiple spaces. A turntable 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the first volatilization cover 4 via a rotating shaft 11. The turntable 10 can control the communication or closing of the spaces and the volatilization ports. The detachable part includes detachable structures provided on the inner and outer peripheries of the volatilization cover.
[0025] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, two detachable deodorizing balls in the shoe deodorizing balls of the present invention are connected to each other via a towing rope 2. Therefore, when the shoe deodorizing balls are used to deodorize shoes, the two deodorizing balls are separated and placed inside two shoes, thereby deodorizing a pair of shoes.
[0026] After the deodorization is completed, the two deodorizing balls 1 are removed from inside the shoes using the towing rope, and then the two deodorizing balls 1 are stored using the detachable parts, which prevents the deodorizing balls 1 from getting lost.
[0027] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a shoe deodorizing ball is provided with a volatilizing cover that can freely control the release of deodorizing substances. The interior of deodorizing ball 1 is provided with a partition plate 3 that divides deodorizing ball 1 into multiple spaces. A first volatilizing cover 4 or a second volatilizing cover 5 is movably connected to one end of deodorizing ball 1. The first volatilizing cover 4 or the second volatilizing cover 5 has volatilizing ports provided inside, the number and positions of which correspond to the multiple spaces. One end of first volatilizing cover 4 is provided with a turntable 10 rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 11. Turntable 10 can control the communication or blocking of the spaces and the volatilizing ports.
[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, four compartments separated by partition plate 3 are filled with activated carbon and different fragrances, respectively, to achieve the effects of deodorizing, dehumidifying, and fragrance-adding shoes. Furthermore, the installed turntable 10 is rotatably connected to the first volatilization cover 4 or the second volatilization cover 5, so that activating any one volatilization port achieves a specific deodorizing or volatilization effect. At the same time, the remaining three volatilization ports are disabled. This effectively extends the life of the deodorizing balls and reduces the frequency of replacing the activated carbon and fragrances.
[0029] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the shoe deodorizing ball is provided with a detachable part. The detachable part includes detachable structures provided on the inner and outer peripheries of the volatilizing cap. The detachable structure on the inner periphery includes an engaging portion 14 and an engaged portion 15. The detachable structure on the outer periphery includes a first sealing ring 6 and a second sealing ring 7.
[0030] In the inner detachable structure, the engaging portion 14 includes a base 141, a leaf spring 142, and a stepped portion 143. The base 141 is fixedly connected to the first volatilization lid 4. The leaf spring 142 has a plurality of expandable elastic structures and is fixedly connected to the base 141. The stepped portion 143 is fitted into the outer periphery of the leaf spring 142. The engaged portion 15 includes a fixing hole 151 and a connecting ring 152. The fixing hole 151 is fixedly connected to the second volatilization lid 5. The connecting ring 152 is fixedly connected to the fixing hole 151. The stepped portion 143 is movably connected to the connecting ring 152. In the outer detachable structure, a first sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the first volatilization lid 4. A second sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the second volatilization lid 5. The outer periphery of the first sealing ring 6 is movably connected to the inner periphery of the second sealing ring 7 .
[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the outer periphery of the first sealing ring 6 and the inner periphery of the second sealing ring 7 are movably connected. Therefore, when two deodorizing balls 1 are combined, a double seal is achieved for the deodorizing balls 1 through both the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7. This connection prevents the fragrance placed inside the deodorizing balls from escaping, effectively extending the life of the deodorizing balls.
[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, after the contractible leaf spring 142 is activated, the leaf spring 142 can be inserted into the fixing hole 151. The leaf spring 142 expands and displaces, thereby realizing the connection between the stepped portion 143 and the connecting ring 152, thereby realizing the connection between the inner rings of the two deodorizing balls 1.
[0033] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a second magnet 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the second sealing ring 7. A first magnet 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the first volatilization cover 4. The end of the first sealing ring 6 remote from the first volatilization disc 4 contacts the second volatilization disc 4. The end of the second magnet 9 remote from the second sealing ring 7 is connected to the first magnet 8 by magnetic attraction.
[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 improves the sealing strength between the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7, thereby preventing the fragrance placed inside the deodorizing ball 1 from escaping.
[0035] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a stepped hole 13 is provided inside the first volatilization cover 4 or the second volatilization cover 5, and an operating part 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 11. The operating part 12 is movably connected to the stepped hole 13.
[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 5, the position of the opening of the turntable 10 can be adjusted by pressing and rotating the operating part 12 with the thumb, thereby allowing the selection of the fragrance to be released, making operation easier.
[0037] The working principle of this invention is explained below.
[0038] In the shoe deodorizing balls of this invention, two detachably connectable deodorizing balls are connected to each other via a towing rope 2. When the shoe deodorizing balls are used to deodorize shoes, the two deodorizing balls are separated and placed inside two shoes, respectively, to deodorize a pair of shoes. After deodorization is complete, the two deodorizing balls 1 are removed from inside the shoes using the towing rope, and then the two deodorizing balls 1 are stored using the detachable parts. This prevents the deodorizing balls 1 from getting lost.
[0039] Furthermore, activated carbon and air fresheners with different fragrances are placed in each of the four spaces separated by the partition plate 3, thereby achieving the effects of deodorizing, dehumidifying, and scenting shoes. Furthermore, the installed turntable 10 is rotatably connected to the first volatilization lid 4 or the second volatilization lid 5, so that activating any one volatilization port achieves a specific deodorizing or volatilization effect. At the same time, the remaining three volatilization ports are disabled. This effectively extends the life of the deodorizing balls and reduces the frequency of replacing the activated carbon and air fresheners.
[0040] The embodiments described in the disclosure of the present invention are only examples of some of the embodiments of the present invention and do not cover all examples. Various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea disclosed in this specification. Modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the scope of the technical idea and principle of the present disclosure are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
