Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention not only keeps your feet clean by drying your feet that have been worn by wearing shoes for a long time with air containing ozone, but also deodorizing and sterilizing your feet to keep them clean and to keep your feet warm when necessary. The present invention relates to a foot dryer equipped with an ozone generator that can also be used.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a device for drying loose feet caused by wearing shoes for a long time, a warm air having a foot rest for inserting and placing the foot and a heater and a blower fan for sending warm air into the foot rest is conventionally used. A so-called foot warmer including a blower is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this kind of foot warmer is only intended to warm the feet rather than to keep them dry and clean, and it is still necessary to dry the feet for deodorization and sterilization. There is no known so-called dry footwear, which aims to keep the feet clean by carrying out.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to dry a foot that has been worn by wearing shoes for a long time by air containing ozone, and at the same time, deodorize and sterilize the foot to keep the foot clean. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foot dryer with an ozone generator, which has improved the drawbacks of the known art.

[0005]

[Means for solving problems]

 To achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the foot rest includes a foot rest and a blower for blowing air containing ozone into the foot rest, the foot rest contacting the sole of the foot. The mounting surface is composed of a plurality of protrusions arranged in a vertical striped pattern.The air blower has an air inlet opening at one end toward the outside and the other end facing toward the foot rest. There is an air passage consisting of an open air discharge port, a ventilation fan is provided between the air introduction port and the air discharge port of the air passage, and between the ventilation fan and the air discharge port. Is equipped with an ozone generator.

[Example of device]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a sectional view of a specific example of a foot dryer according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foot dryer A according to the present invention basically has a foot rest 1 and a blower for blowing air containing ozone into the foot rest 1. And part 2.

The footrest 1 includes a resting surface 6 that comes into contact with the sole 5 of the foot 4 when the foot 4 is inserted through the foot insertion opening 3. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mounting surface 6 is composed of a plurality of protruding pieces 7, 7 ... 7 arranged in a vertical stripe pattern. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a raised portion 8 is formed at a portion of the sole 5 of each of the projecting pieces 7, 7 ... 7 corresponding to the arch 5a.

The blower unit 2 has an air passage 9 as shown in FIG. At one end 9a of the air passage 9, an air introduction port 12 is opened outward through a side wall 11 having a large number of holes 10, 10 ... 10 and an air discharge port 13 is provided at the other end 9b. It is opened toward the inside 1 a of the footrest portion 1.

At any position between the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 of the air passage 9 described above, as clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a blower fan 15 operated by a motor 14 is provided. For example, two motor shafts 16 are provided on both sides of the motor 14 and connected to the motor shaft 16.

Further, in the present invention, an ozone generator 17 is provided between the blower fan 15 and the air outlet 13. The ozone generator 17 is composed of an ozone generating discharge tube, and a high voltage is applied by a high frequency generator 18 connected thereto to generate ozone. The present invention may further include a heater 19 composed of a heating plate or the like between the blower fan 15 and the air outlet 13.

[0012]

[Action]

 The operation of the foot dryer A according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, the foot 4 that has been distorted due to wearing shoes for a long time is inserted into the inside 1a of the foot rest 1 from the foot insertion opening 3 and placed on the placing surface 6. Next, although not shown, the power supply switch is turned on to operate the motor 14 and the high frequency generator 18.

Then, the blower fan 15 starts to rotate, and the air from the outside is introduced into the air passage 9 through the hole 10 of the side wall 11 and the air introduction port 12, and is mixed with ozone generated from the ozone generator 17 here. Then, the air is discharged from the air outlet 13 into the inside 1a of the footrest 1.

In the inside 1a of the footrest portion 1, since the placement surface 6 is composed of a plurality of protruding pieces 7, 7, ... 7 arranged in a vertical stripe pattern, the mixed air from the blower portion 2 is protruded. Passes well through the gap 20 between 7 and 7, and makes good contact with the foot 4, especially the sole 5, to dry the foot, and at the same time, achieves deodorization and sterilization of the foot due to the oxidation effect of ozone components. And keep your feet clean.

At this time, if the heater 19 is also turned on, the mixed air is warmed and the foot temperature is simultaneously achieved in addition to the above-mentioned drying, deodorizing and sterilizing. Furthermore, the arch 5a of the sole 5 is pressed by the raised portions 8 of the protrusions 7, 7, ... 7 during the above-mentioned operation, and the acupressure effect is also achieved.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the foot dryer according to the present invention not only achieves foot dryness by contacting air that contains ozone with the feet that have become loose due to wearing shoes for a long time, but also uses ozone to oxidize the foot. Deodorization and sterilization are achieved, and the feet can be kept clean, which is a practically useful idea.
