Description

Shoe washing device

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of washing, and particularly relates to a shoe washing device.

Background

The brush type shoe washer in the market at present belongs to the products with improved wave wheels, and the common brush type shoe washer is a column brush type shoe washer. The working principle of the column brush type shoe washer is that the impeller blades are utilized to stir water flow, so that shoes are driven to rub against the brushes on the column brushes, and the surfaces of the shoes are cleaned. The column brush type shoe washer has the advantages that the column brush type shoe washer is clean in washing part of the shoe, but the column brush structure of the column brush type shoe washer can occupy a larger space inside the shoe washer, so that the washing space of the shoe is limited to a certain extent, the situation that the shoe rotates unevenly is easy to occur, the column brush type shoe washer is difficult to uniformly wash the shoe, and the situation that the heel cannot be effectively washed can occur. And because the shoes rotate unsmoothly, part of the positions of the shoes can be rubbed by the brushes for a plurality of times, so that the shoes are easily worn seriously.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new shoe-washing device to solve the problem that the post-brush type shoe-washing machine in the prior art limits the shoe-washing space, and is easy to cause uneven rotation of shoes, so that the post-brush type shoe-washing machine is difficult to uniformly wash the shoes.

Disclosure of Invention

Aiming at the problems that the column brush type shoe washer limits the shoe washing space and the rotation of shoes is not smooth easily, so that the column brush type shoe washer is difficult to uniformly wash the shoes, the invention provides a shoe washing device, which comprises a washing barrel, a driving part and a pulsator, wherein the pulsator is rotatably arranged at the center of the bottom of the washing barrel, the driving part is arranged outside the washing barrel, the output end of the driving part is in driving connection with the pulsator, and the shoe washing device further comprises a brushing part which is arranged at the bottom end inside the washing barrel in an asymmetric mode, so that when the shoe washing device is used for washing, the brushing part can ensure that the center line of a vortex formed by liquid in the washing barrel is not coincident with the center line of the washing barrel.

In the preferred technical solution of the shoe washing device, the axis of the brushing part coincides with the axis of the pulsator, and the brushing base body of the brushing part is partially missing, so that the projection of the brushing base body of the brushing part on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulsator is in an incomplete circle.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the axis of the brushing part is coincident with the axis of the impeller, the brushing base body of the brushing part is partially missing, and the projection of the brushing base body of the brushing part on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the impeller is a complete circle.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the brushing part is fixedly connected with the pulsator; or,

the brush section is rotationally arranged relative to the pulsator, the driving part comprises a first driving piece and a second driving piece, the output end of the first driving piece is in driving connection with the pulsator, and the output end of the second driving piece is in driving connection with the brush section.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the brushing base body of the brushing part is of an incomplete hemispherical structure or an incomplete spherical structure; or,

the brushing base body of the brushing part is an incomplete cylinder or a round table, and the height of the brushing base body is set so that the brushing base body does not prevent a washing load from rotating in the washing barrel when the shoe washing device is used for washing.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, a brushing piece is further arranged on the surface of the brushing base body of the brushing part, and the brushing piece is detachably or detachably arranged on the brushing base body.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the brushing base body of the brushing part is a sphere, a hemisphere, a truncated cone or a cylinder with a part of structure obliquely cut off.

In a preferred embodiment of the shoe washing apparatus, the axis of the brush section does not coincide with the axis of the pulsator.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the pulsator is further fixedly provided with a mesh-shaped barrel, and the mesh-shaped barrel is arranged in the washing barrel.

In the preferred technical scheme of the shoe washing device, the inner wall of the reticular barrel is also fixedly provided with a brushing piece.

The technical scheme of the invention provides a shoe washing device, which comprises a washing barrel, a driving part and a pulsator, wherein the pulsator is rotatably arranged at the center of the bottom of the washing barrel, the driving part is arranged outside the washing barrel, the output end of the driving part is in driving connection with the pulsator, and the shoe washing device also comprises a brushing part which is arranged at the bottom end inside the washing barrel in a non-centrosymmetric way, so that when the shoe washing device is used for washing, the brushing part can ensure that the central line of a vortex formed by liquid in the washing barrel is not overlapped with the central line of the washing barrel.

When the shoe washing device is used for washing a washing load (such as shoes), the driving part drives the impeller to rotate, so that vortex water flow is formed in the washing barrel, the water flow along the inner wall of the washing barrel rises in a rotating way, and the water flow at the center of the washing barrel falls in a rotating way. Because the brushing part in the washing barrel is arranged at the bottom end of the inside of the washing barrel in an asymmetric mode, the brushing base body of the brushing part can be divided into two parts with larger structural volume and smaller structural volume, the brushing part cannot generate uniform contact with the rotary descending water flow, and most of the rotary descending water flow is guided to move to the region with smaller structural volume of the brushing part by the brushing part, so that the center of the rotary descending water flow deviates from the center line of the washing barrel. The water flow which deviates from the central line of the washing barrel and still falls between the walls of the washing barrel is matched with the water flow which rises along the rotation of the inner wall of the washing barrel, so that the washing load can be driven to smoothly and circularly overturn and rotate irregularly in the washing barrel, friction is carried out between the washing load and the brushing part, and the washing load can be uniformly and effectively washed.

Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adapt it as desired to suit a particular application.

For example, although the description has been made by taking the brushing base as an example of an incomplete hemispherical structure, it is obvious that other similar means, such as the brushing base is an incomplete spherical structure, may be adopted in the present invention, so long as the structure of the brushing base is capable of facilitating that the center line of the vortex formed by the liquid in the washing tub does not coincide with the center line of the washing tub when the shoe washing device washes.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "disposed," and the like are to be construed broadly, and may be, for example, fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, etc. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to the specific circumstances.

In order to solve the problem that the post-brush type shoe washer limits the shoe washing space and is easy to generate the situation that the rotation of shoes is not smooth, so that the post-brush type shoe washer is difficult to uniformly wash the shoes, as shown in fig. 1-2, the invention provides a shoe washing device, and the related structure outside the washing barrel 1 is not shown in the figure because the related structure inside the washing barrel 1 is improved. The shoe washing device comprises a washing barrel 1, a driving part (not shown in the figure) and a pulsator 2, wherein the pulsator 2 is rotatably arranged at the bottom center of the washing barrel 1, the driving part is arranged outside the washing barrel 1, the output end of the driving part is in driving connection with the pulsator 2, and the shoe washing device further comprises a brushing part 3. As shown in fig. 3A to 3C, the brush 3 is disposed at the inner bottom end of the tub 1 in a non-centrosymmetric manner such that the brush 3 can make the center line of the vortex 4 formed by the liquid in the tub 1 not coincide with the center line of the tub 1 when the shoe washing apparatus washes.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 is partially missing, so that the projection of the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulsator 2 is of an incomplete circular shape.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the brush base body 31 of the brush section 3 has an incomplete hemispherical structure (a structure in which a part of a hemisphere is completely cut off in the vertical direction in the present embodiment). The brushing part 3 is fixedly connected with the pulsator 2. The surface of the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 is also provided with brushing members 32 (brushing members are bristles or flexible friction members, wherein the flexible friction members can be flexible rubber or the like), and the brushing members 32 are fixedly arranged on the brushing base 31. The axis of the brush section 3 (in the present embodiment, the axis of the brush section 3 means the central axis when the brush base body 31 of the brush section 3 is a hemispherical body of a complete structure) coincides with the axis of the pulsator 2.

In summary, in the shoe washing device of the present invention, when washing a washing load (such as shoes), the driving part drives the pulsator 2 to rotate, so that a vortex water flow is formed in the washing tub 1, the water flow along the inner wall of the washing tub 1 is rotated up, and the water flow at the center of the washing tub 1 is rotated down. Since the brush 3 in the tub 1 is disposed at the bottom end of the inside of the tub 1 in a non-centrosymmetric manner, the brush substrate 31 of the brush 3 can be divided into two parts of a larger structural volume and a smaller structural volume by the diameter of the bottom of the tub 1 (although there are many diameters of the bottom of the tub 1, the volume of the smaller structural volume part is the smallest among the divisions of the plurality of diameters, in some cases, the volume of the smaller structural volume part may be 0), the brush 3 cannot be brought into uniform contact with the rotating descending water flow, and the brush 3 guides a large part of the rotating descending water flow to move toward the region of the smaller structural volume of the brush 3, thereby causing the center of the rotating descending water flow to deviate from the center line of the tub 1.

The water flow which deviates from the central line of the washing barrel 1 and still falls between the walls of the washing barrel 1 is matched with the water flow which rises along the inner wall of the washing barrel 1 in a rotating way, so that the washing load can be driven to smoothly and circularly overturn and rotate in the washing barrel 1 in an irregular way, and the washing load rubs with the brushing part 3. In addition, the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 is of an incomplete hemispherical structure, so that the height of the brushing base 31 is relatively low, the occupied space in the washing barrel 1 is relatively small, and the rotation and turnover of a washing load in the washing barrel 1 are not prevented. And since the brush 3 is rotated in the tub 1 by the driving of the driving part, the rotational water flow in the tub 1 between the tub walls and not substantially in direct contact with the tub walls is not limited to one place but is changed in position according to the rotation of the brush 3. Therefore, the invention can uniformly and effectively wash the washing load.

It should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention, and not in limitation of the scope of the invention, and that those skilled in the art can modify the above structure without departing from the principles of the present invention so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios, which do not deviate from the principles of the present invention, and therefore all fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in an alternative embodiment, the brushing base 31 described in the previous embodiment may be replaced with an incomplete hemispherical structure:

the brushing base 31 is of an incomplete spherical structure (not shown). When the brushing base 31 is of an incomplete sphere structure, the center of the water flow which is rotated and lowered can be deviated from the center line of the washing barrel 1, so that the water flow can be matched with the pulsator 2 to achieve the effects of smoothly and circularly overturning and rotating the washing load in the washing barrel 1 irregularly.

However, compared with the incomplete hemispherical structure of the brushing base 31, the incomplete spherical structure of the present embodiment not only increases the occupation of the space in the washing tub 1 by the brushing base 31, but also has very few surfaces that can be contacted by the washing load in the structure of the portion below the center of the sphere due to the characteristics of the sphere itself, especially the washing load that is not small for the volume of shoes. Thus, the brushing base 31 is of an incomplete sphere structure, which is less effective than the brushing base 31 being of an incomplete hemisphere structure. However, compared with various shoe washers in the prior art, the structure in the embodiment can still achieve better washing effect on washing load. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the axis of the brush section 3 described in the previous embodiment may be overlapped with the axis of the pulsator 2, and the brush base body 31 of the brush section 3 may be partially missing, and the projection of the brush base body 31 of the brush section 3 on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulsator 2 may be replaced with an incomplete circle:

the axis of the brush section 3 coincides with the axis of the pulsator 2, and the brush base 31 of the brush section 3 is partially missing, and the projection of the brush base 31 of the brush section 3 on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulsator 2 is a complete circle (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 is a sphere, a hemisphere, a truncated cone, or a cylinder, from which a part of the structure is obliquely cut.

The brushing base 31 in the present embodiment is configured such that the center of the water flow falling in rotation is offset from the center line of the washing tub 1, and thus the washing load can smoothly and circularly turn and rotate in the washing tub 1 in cooperation with the pulsator 2.

However, in the present embodiment, the scrubbing base 31 is also capable of achieving a uniform contact with the water flow which is descending in rotation, but the difference between the two parts of the scrubbing base 31 having a larger structural volume and the scrubbing base 31 having a smaller structural volume is relatively small, so that the effect of guiding the water flow by the scrubbing base 31 is relatively poor, and thus the distance of the center of the water flow which is descending in rotation from the center line of the washing tub 1 is relatively short, as compared with the structure in which the scrubbing base 31 of the scrubbing section 3 in the embodiment before replacement is projected in an incomplete circular shape on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulsator 2. However, compared with various shoe washers in the prior art, the structure in the embodiment can still achieve better washing effect on washing load. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the brush section 3 described in the previous embodiment may be fixedly connected to the pulsator 2, and replaced with:

the brush section 3 is rotatably arranged relative to the pulsator 2, and the driving section includes a first driving member (not shown in the figure, a motor) and a second driving member (not shown in the figure, a motor), an output end of the first driving member is in driving connection with the pulsator 2, and an output end of the second driving member is in driving connection with the brush section 3.

Specifically, the brushing part 3 may be in driving connection with the output end of the second driving member through a brushing connection shaft (not shown in the drawing), and the brushing connection shaft is in driving connection with the second driving member through an internal center line of a pulsator connection shaft (not shown in the drawing) of the pulsator 2. And the outer surface of the impeller connecting shaft is fixedly sleeved with a first gear (not shown in the figure), and the first driving piece is arranged on the side surface of the impeller connecting shaft and is meshed and connected with the first gear through a second gear (not shown in the figure).

In the present embodiment, the rotational direction and rotational speed of the brush section 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation, so that a more ideal washing effect can be achieved, as compared with the case where the brush section 3 and the pulsator 2 are fixedly connected to each other in the embodiment before replacement, and the rotational speed of the brush section 3 cannot be adjusted. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

the brushing base 31 of the brushing part 3 is an incomplete cylinder (not shown in the drawing, that is, a structure in which a part of the cylinder is completely cut out in the vertical direction with reference to the structure in the embodiment before replacement) or an incomplete round table (not shown in the drawing, that is, a structure in which a part of the round table is completely cut out in the vertical direction with reference to the structure in the embodiment before replacement), and the height of the brushing base 31 is set so that the brushing base 31 does not interfere with the rotation of the washing load in the washing tub 1 when the shoe washing apparatus is washing.

The present embodiment can also deviate the center of the water flow which is rotated down from the center line of the washing tub 1, so that it can be matched with the pulsator 2 to achieve the effect of smoothly and circularly turning and rotating the washing load irregularly in the washing tub 1.

However, the brushing base 31 has a limited brushing effect on the washing load in an obliquely upward direction with respect to the brushing base 31 due to its own structural characteristics, regardless of the incomplete cylindrical structure or the incomplete truncated cone structure. However, compared with various shoe washers in the prior art, the structure in the embodiment can still achieve better washing effect on washing load. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the brush 32 described in the above embodiment before replacement may be fixedly provided to the brush base body 31 so as not to be detachable, and replaced with:

the brush 32 is detachably provided to the brush base 31. In the present embodiment, the brush 32 is detachably provided, and it is possible to facilitate the user to replace the brush 32 with an appropriate material according to the material characteristics of the actual washing load. For example, when the washing load is a shoe, the soft brush 32 can be replaced with a shoe made of a relatively soft material. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the axis of the brush section 3 described in the above embodiment before replacement may be superimposed on the axis of the pulsator 2, and the replacement may be performed by:

the axis of the brush section 3 does not coincide with the axis of the pulsator 2 (not shown in the drawings). In the present embodiment, it is possible to move the brush base 31 by a distance such that the center line of the washing tub 1 still passes through the brush base 31, but does not coincide with the axis of the brush section 3, on the basis of the structure in the embodiment before replacement. The structure of the embodiment can also lead the center of the water flow which rotates downwards to deviate from the center line of the washing barrel 1, thereby being matched with the impeller 2 to achieve the effect of smoothly and circularly overturning and rotating the washing load in the washing barrel 1 irregularly.

However, as compared with the structure of the embodiment before replacement, since the axis of the brush section 3 in the present embodiment is offset from the center line of the washing tub 1, the brush base 31 can also achieve a relatively small difference between the two parts of the brush base 31 having a relatively large structural volume and a relatively small structural volume, which makes the distance of the center of the rotating down water flow offset from the center line of the washing tub 1 relatively short, which makes the washing effect of the present embodiment relatively poor, although it is impossible to generate uniform contact with the rotating down water flow. However, compared with various shoe washers in the prior art, the structure in the embodiment can still achieve better washing effect on washing load. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the axis of the brush section 3 described in the previous alternative embodiment may be replaced with the axis of the pulsator 2, and the center line of the washing tub 1 may pass through the brush base 31, but may not be replaced with the axis of the brush section 3:

the axis of the brush section 3 does not coincide with the axis of the pulsator 2, and the center line of the washing tub 1 does not pass through the brush base 31 (not shown in the drawings). The structure of the embodiment can also lead the center of the water flow which rotates downwards to deviate from the center line of the washing barrel 1, thereby being matched with the impeller 2 to achieve the effect of smoothly and circularly overturning and rotating the washing load in the washing barrel 1 irregularly.

However, compared with the structure of the previous alternative embodiment, although the present embodiment can also achieve that uniform contact cannot be generated with the rotation-descending water flow, the rotation-descending water flow cannot be effectively guided by the brushing base 31 at the first time in the process of moving toward the bottom center of the washing tub 1, and then the water flow is guided by the brushing base 31, so that the distance of the center of the water flow from the center line of the washing tub 1 is shorter, and thus the washing effect of the present embodiment is relatively worse.

However, compared with various shoe washers in the prior art, the structure in the embodiment can still achieve better washing effect on washing load. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, the structure described in the above embodiment before the replacement may be further:

the pulsator 2 is also fixedly provided with a mesh tub (not shown in the drawings) provided inside the washing tub 1. When the washing load is washed, the washing load is placed in the mesh tub. The net barrel rotates along with the impeller 2, so that the centrifugal dehydration effect on the washing load can be achieved.

Further, the brushing member 32 may be fixedly provided on the inner wall of the mesh tub. The washing effect on the washing load can be further improved. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, and thus, fall within the scope of the present invention.

Of course, the alternative embodiments described above, as well as the alternative and preferred embodiments, may also be used in a cross-fit manner, thereby combining new embodiments to suit more specific application scenarios.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and substitutions will fall within the scope of the present invention.
