Description

Shoe Polisher {Footwear Washer}

The present invention provides a shoe polishing apparatus which enables automatic alignment and position control of the brushing / cleaning head through prior recognition of shoe dimensions in the brushing process and cleaning process to meet the cleaning and cleaning reliability required for the automation of the shoe polishing apparatus. It is about.

Brushes for brushing off debris from a shoe polish or a cleaning cloth that rubs the surface of the shoe to remove dirt from the shoe are the tools needed to clean the shoe. Cleaning liquids or varnishes applied to or coated on the surface of the shoe to protect and shine the shoe are used as an accessory for cleaning the shoe.

Shoe wiping by hand is time-consuming and cumbersome because it goes through brushing-washing or applying a gloss material, rubbing with cloth, and polishing.

There are shoe polishers and devices to reduce the inconvenience and problems of manual work, but brushing and cleaning conditions are not enough, and some manual work is required. The devices, for example, make the brushes rotate and return the rotating plates or rollers through an artificial drive for cleaning. Rotatable brushes and spinning fabrics for cleaning can be thought of as going through at least two workflows.

Therefore, head rotating shoe polishers, which are generally known, are less than automated, and are close to semi-automatic devices that replace a part of manual work as a mechanical device.

The task of automation is to make a single process when more than one process is required to process or vary the shape of the object to the required shape, as well as in shoe polishers. The closer to automation, the less manual work, but the conditions of the object become a barrier. Shoes in particular do not provide favorable conditions for automation. The material itself has flexibility because it uses materials such as leather, vinyl, and woofertan as main raw materials. Therefore, there is a need for a mechanical process to control the shoes without affecting other processes while keeping the shoes stationary for the continuous process required in automation. Even if a shoe support device was provided according to the necessity, it was also a technical problem to treat the cleaning process and the cleaning process as a single process. Conventional devices have included such cleaning and cleaning as a separate process rather than as a single treatment process, leaving the problem of securing oral support devices as above.

Known shoe polishing devices are thus classified as semi-automatic devices and require user operation management. For example, a user may perform a washing and cleaning operation with a shoe placed in a space, or select a cleaning process after finishing.

The following is the level of reliability indicated by the cleanliness that occurs when the shoe is polished by the shoe polisher, that is, the state of washing or appearance treatment.

Conventional devices have low reliability. The reason for this was that it was difficult to fix the shoes without flow, otherwise the polishing was not constant because the user wiped the shoes by putting the shoes into the device while the shoes were worn, and the cleaning and cleaning devices were driven to clean the shoes. When these devices did not move organically along the shoe, they showed limitations in polishing shoes in every corner. In other words, the rotating plate or roller in the cleaning and cleaning step only touches the front part of the upper surface to contact the rotating body to the side or the rear is difficult to give enough friction force.

The shoe polisher of my prior application, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 178718, was presented as an automated shoe polisher that can be cleaned and cleaned in one space.

The apparatus includes a base plate which is horizontally placed in the case space and supports the shoe in the case space, an up and down movement mechanism portion consisting of a pneumatic tube for supporting or removing support for the shoes placed on the base plate, and supported by the up and down movement mechanism portion. The movement of the washing and cleaning head, the washing and cleaning head, the washing and cleaning head moving means for rotating the washing and cleaning head in close contact with the shoes while rotating the washing and cleaning head, and the head driving for rotating the washing and cleaning head. By means of means, more access to automation has been made.

However, in order to complete the cleaning and cleaning in one process by applying the linkage driving method to the cleaning and cleaning head, it is necessary to keep the movement of the driving head smoothly while keeping each driving head close to the shoes. Because the head moves along a curved trajectory, the reliability of the drive and the position for cleaning and cleaning did not reach the optimal position.

On the other hand, the shoe polishing apparatus of the Korean patent application No.18641 of the prior patent application No.18641, which supports the shoe in the case space and slides provided with a drive unit to enable the slide opening and closing, support the shoe mounted on the slide bed or support force A shoe support driven by a cylinder for release, a sub head rotatably mounted at an angle to the frame to wipe the front of the shoe secured on the slide bed by the shoe support, in a position separate from the sub head It is installed to clean the side and rear part of the shoe, the main head which performs the plane and rotational movement along the rail, the guide part which guides the gap and position movement of the main head through the driving force, and is located in the periphery of the main head Bitumen which applies bitumen to main head by compression action Shoe cleaning and cleaning with a packing device, a dust collector that collects dust or foreign substances generated by shoes by washing and cleaning by the head at the bottom of the slide bed, and a shoe holder located at the top of the case to store several shoes at the same time. Improved the reliability of cleaning.

However, there was a limit in contacting each driving head to the corners of the back of the shoe and to the side of the shoe, and it was difficult to miniaturize due to the complicated arrangement of a plurality of sliders or operation cylinders, and there was a problem in that the manufacturing cost was also high.

On the other hand, the shoe polishing apparatus of my 2000 domestic utility model application application No. 24778 is placed on the slide bed so as to be movable or bendable by a cylinder to support the shoe placed on the slide bed under pressure and release the support force. Laying the rails around the longitudinal direction of the shoe placed in the case space to wipe the shoe support configured on the upper part of the losing shoe based on the position of the shoe and the front part of the shoe fixed on the slide bed by the shoe support, The front head and its means for wiping the front part of the shoe while moving horizontally along the rail, and the rear part and the side surface of the shoe placed on the slide bed at random intervals on the same line as the rail for guiding the front head. Opened by one drive motor to wipe Rear / side head which is rotated, and a moving plate which is coupled to the rail to support the rear / side head as a three-axis linkage unit and moves in two dimensions, and the rear / side head is moved along the rail through the moving plate. And a locking part for opening and closing the entrance door according to the entrance and exit of the slide bed according to the position of the slide bed linearly moving in and out of the case space. And cleaning reliability, the head for cleaning and cleaning and the drive system for driving the head can be precisely matched to the shoe, and the drive system of the drive head can be simplified.

However, the driving head rotates while moving in a plane only at a predetermined position, so that the head cannot be closely adhered to shoes having different sizes (dimensions), and there is a limit in that it is not possible to keep constant application of shoe polish.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shoe polishing apparatus for improving the washing and cleaning reliability of shoes by controlling the position of the washing and cleaning head for each shoe size in constructing an automated shoe polishing apparatus.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoe polishing apparatus that improves the stability and reliability of shoe polish application by quantitatively applying shoe polish in a precisely defined position according to shoe size.

Shoe polishing device of the present invention for achieving this purpose,
