Description

The invention relates to a device for drying shoes that can be used at the entrance (foyer, corridors, etc.) to public buildings, institutions and others in order to maintain the cleanliness of these premises, save water and detergents for cleaning, and also ensure safety when walking on marble and tiled surfaces after drying and removing water and ice from the sole of the shoe.

The closest analogue of the invention is a device for drying shoes, selected as an analogue, using a household device for drying clothes, containing an outer casing with an upper working surface having at least one perforated drying surface, the openings of which are in fluid communication with the supply means air through these holes. The device is made in the form of a stand with a perforated upper part for introducing and holding at least one shoe with the possibility of supplying an air stream inside the supported shoe (RU 2511855 C2, 04/10/2014).

The disadvantage of this analogue is its purpose for drying only the inner surface of the shoe and, accordingly, the inability to use to clean the outer surface of the shoe.

The objective of the invention is to provide a device for efficient drying of the sole and outer surface of the shoe.

The technical result is drying the shoes from moisture in the form of snow, ice on the soles at the entrance to the buildings, premises, as a result of which the shoes after being blown with hot and warm air become dry and clean and do not entail dirt, snow, ice and slush in the soles of the shoes .

This is achieved by the fact that the device for drying shoes containing a working drying surface for installing shoes communicating with means for supplying air, a hollow metal frame, a chip for controlling the device, a tray for draining the liquid located under the drying surface for installing shoes, an air blower installed inside the metal frame for air injection, two guides located parallel to the longitudinal axis of the metal frame along which the heater moves by means of an electric of the motor through the rod, and the heater nozzle is installed under the drying surface for installing shoes, the heater is connected to the blower via an air supply hose, or guides located perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the metal frame along which two heaters move towards each other using an electric motor through a mechanism performing reciprocating movements of the heaters, and the nozzles of the heaters are installed under the drying surface for shoes, heaters are connected to the blower by means of hoses for air supply and / or can be located in a fixed position.

The invention is intended for location on the floor, as well as for mounting on the floor of the premises.

In FIG. 1 shows a device for drying shoes (general view).

In FIG. 2 shows a device for drying shoes (view of the device without a front panel).

In FIG. 3 shows a device for drying shoes (option I top view).

In FIG. 4 shows a device for drying shoes (option I).

In FIG. 5 shows a device for drying shoes (option II top view).

In FIG. 6 shows a device for drying shoes (option II).

A device for drying shoes contains the following elements:

- hollow metal frame;

- stiffening ribs of square section;

- blower;

- a chip to control the device;

- heater;

- weight sensor;

- drying surface for installing shoes;

- front panel.

The device for drying shoes contains a hollow metal frame (1), in the upper part of which are mounted stiffening ribs of square section (2), a blower (3) placed in a metal frame (1), and the blower is equipped with a microcircuit for controlling the device (4), a heater (5) connected to the blower by a hose, a heater nozzle (5) is installed under the drying surface for installing shoes, a weight sensor (6) mounted on a metal frame under the drying surface (7), a tray for draining the liquid, located d drying surface (7) for fitting shoes, the front panel (8) for informing the user of the start and end of the drying process.

The present invention is illustrated by a specific example, which clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the above set of features of the required technical result, but is not the only possible one.

Examples of the device for drying shoes.

Option I.

- 1 034544

A man stands in shoes on a drying surface. A weight sensor is triggered, responding to a user's weight of 15 kg or more, then heated air is supplied through the heater nozzle to the outer surface of the shoe. The heater moves from the toe of the user's shoe to the heel one and / or several times. Possible residual moisture from the shoes drains into the tray to drain the liquid.

Option II.

A man stands in shoes on a drying surface. A weight sensor is activated, which responds to a user's weight of 15 kg, after which there is a supply of heated air through the heater nozzle to the outer surface of the shoe. The heaters move from the outer parts of the user's shoe to the inside one and / or several times. Possible residual moisture from the shoe drains into the tray to drain the liquid.

Option III.

A man stands in shoes on a drying surface. A weight sensor is triggered, responding to a user's weight of 15 kg, after which heated air is supplied through the heater nozzle to the sole of the shoe in the locked position of the heater. Possible residual moisture from the shoe drains into the tray to drain the liquid.

As a result of the use of the claimed devices, cleanliness is maintained in the rooms, as a result of which there is a saving of water, detergents for cleaning, and safety is also ensured when walking on marble and tiled surfaces due to the lack of water and ice on the sole of the shoe.
