Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
This sneaker washing machine is a washing machine dedicated to sneakers, and the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 is a manual washing machine.
This washing machine has a main body 1, a base portion 3 provided on the rotary shaft 2, and a pair of sneaker storage portions 6 disposed on both sides of the base portion 3, and a pair of cranks 7 are provided at both ends of the rotary shaft 2. The directions are 180 degrees different from each other.

The main body 1 is composed of a lower main body 1a and an upper main body 1b, both of which are connected by a hinge, and preferably a stopper means (not shown) is provided so that the upper main body 1b does not open more than 90 ° with respect to the lower main body 1a. Provided. The upper body 1b has a tank 1c in the upper part thereof.
Next, the sneaker storage section 6 has expansion / contraction means 8 that can be expanded / contracted according to the size of the shoe. As shown in FIG. 2, the toe storage section 6a is fixed to the base section 3, and the heel storage section 6a has a heel. The storage portion 6b is disposed so as to be freely accessible. In this example, the toe storage portion 6a and the heel storage portion 6b are made of a punching metal having a large number of holes. Instead of these, it is also possible to use a wire mesh or a lattice frame.

  External vibration / rubbing means 9 is attached to the inner surface of the toe storage portion 6a and the inner surface of the heel storage portion 6b on the substrate 3. The external vibration / rubbing means 9 is water-permeable, and for example, a non-woven fabric, a scrubbing brush, a brush or the like can be used. The bag storage portion 6b is fitted with a frame body 5 having a lattice-like vertical spring 12 and a horizontal spring 13 on the outer periphery thereof. The vertical spring 12 of the frame 5 has a U-shaped side portion and an L-shaped upper end, and an upper portion projects from the inner surface side of the bag storage portion 6b. The upper end portion of the vertical spring 12 constitutes a pop-out preventing means 6c that prevents the sneaker from popping out during use when the sneaker is stored inside the sneaker storage portion 6. The lower end of the vertical spring 12 is fitted into an appropriate slit 16 of the positioning rail 15 fixed to the base 3, and the expansion / contraction means 8 that matches the size of the sneaker is constituted by each position of the slit 16. The slit 16 has a key shape in cross section as shown in FIG. This is to prevent the vertical spring 12 from coming off even if a large centrifugal force is applied to the absorbed sneaker.

  FIG. 5 shows the operation of the expansion / contraction means 8. In other words, the frame body 5 that holds the outer periphery of the bag storage portion 6b includes a vertical spring 12 and a horizontal spring 13, and a lower end of the vertical spring 12 is fitted into an appropriate slit 16 of the positioning rail 15. As for the fitting method, first, a pair of left and right vertical springs 12 are reduced in the width direction as shown by chain lines, moved in the width direction of the positioning rail 15, and then moved in the longitudinal direction of the rail. The vertical spring 12 is fitted into an appropriate slit 16 using elasticity.

In this embodiment, the upper and lower sneaker storage portions 6 are respectively attached to the base portion 3 as shown in FIG. 7, and are arranged so that the axes of the central axes L ₁ L ₂ of the base portions 3 intersect each other. This is such that the cleaning water 24 smoothly flows into and out of each sneaker storage section 6 when the rotary shaft 2 is rotated. That is, the axes of each other are crossed so that the flow of the washing water 24 is not disturbed by the presence of the counterpart base 3. In addition, the base part 3 may be one and each sneaker storage part 6 may be arrange | positioned at the both sides.

As shown in FIG. 6, a tank 1c is provided on the upper part of the upper main body 1b forming the main body 1, and a valve 11 is inserted into a valve seat provided on the bottom surface of the tank 1c. In this example, the valve 11 lifts the knob 23 to supply the internal cleaning water 24 to the lower main body 1a side. Using this valve 11 as a manual throttle valve, it is also possible to continuously supply wash water with an appropriate throttle.
In this example, the internal vibration / rubbing means 10 shown in FIG. 2 is inserted into the sneaker 14 stored in the sneaker storage unit 6.
Further, as the external vibration / rubbing means 9 on the base 3, one shown in FIG. 9 can be arranged. The external vibration / rubbing means 9 has a convex portion 21 protruding from the arch portion of the shoe sole, and the convex portion 21 scrapes off dirt on the arch portion.

[Action]
Next, a method of using the sneaker washing machine of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of sneakers 14 is stored in the pair of upper and lower sneaker storage units 6. Then, the bag storage 6b is moved in accordance with the size of the sneaker 14. Each sneaker 14 houses a hard mat as the internal vibration / rubbing means 10 shown in FIG. The internal vibration / rubbing means 10 is made of the same material as that of the external vibration / rubbing means 9, and a knitted nonwoven fabric or the like can be used.
Further, the external vibration / rubbing means 9 and the internal vibration / rubbing means 10 may have brushes implanted on their surfaces. 6 and 7, the knob 23 is lifted and the valve 11 is opened, or a throttle valve (not shown) is opened in an appropriate amount, and the cleaning water 24 is supplied to the lower body 1a side. The supply method is arbitrary, and the droplets or the mist-like washing water 24 can be circulated inside by rotating the left and right cranks 7 by dropping them little by little.

Furthermore, the crank 7 may be rotated in a state in which the cleaning water 24 is supplied to the lower main body 1a at a certain height and the sneakers are immersed. At this time, as the crank 7 rotates, the internal sneaker 14 moves in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and the outer vibration / rubbing means 9 scrapes off the dirt on the outer periphery of the sneaker 14. Dirt inside the sneaker 14 is scraped off by the internal vibration / rubbing means 10.
Next, in FIG. 6, the washing water 24 in the lower main body 1a is discharged to the outside from the discharge pipe 18. Next, the rotating shaft 2 is further rotated for dehydration, and water droplets inside the sneaker 14 are discharged by centrifugal force. The drainage flows out through the discharge pipe 18 from the bottom surface of the lower main body 1a. When the moisture of the sneaker 14 is sufficiently released, the upper body 1b is opened as shown in FIG. 1, the frame 5 is moved, and the sneaker 14 inside is taken out.

Next, FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which the rotary shaft 2 is rotationally driven by the motor 20.
FIG. 4 is a modification of FIG. 3, in which the upper and lower sneaker storage portions 6 and the sneaker 14 are large in size, and the inner vibration / rubbing means 10 that is one longer in the sneaker 14 is present. .
