Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shoe cleaning machine that applies a brush to shoes that rotate once.

Currently, household cleaning devices include washing machines for washing clothes, dishwashers for washing tableware, rice washers, etc. Washing machines are particularly popular.

On the other hand, athletic shoes have relatively many chances of contamination and need to be cleaned frequently, but at present no shoe cleaning machine has been put into practical use.

The reason for this is presumed to be that when it comes to athletic shoes,
If the degree of soiling is severe and you attempt to clean it using a conventional washing machine type washing machine for clothes, in order to obtain sufficient cleaning, the damaged area of the shoes will inevitably become larger, and it is also difficult to clean the shoes with a washing machine. One of the reasons is that the durability of the equipment becomes a problem due to sand and the like that adheres and is brought into the equipment, making it difficult to develop appropriate equipment that is inexpensive and has a long life.

For example, conventional buttons have been proposed in which a drive shaft is provided that penetrates the bottom wall of a housing housing the shoe and rotates a brush body within the housing. There is a great possibility that sand or the like that has adhered to the shoes and entered the shoes will become trapped and destroy the watertightness of the watertight seal portion.

Further, in the conventional type, the brush is simply rubbed against the shoes by rotating the brush body, and the cleaning performance when the shoes are heavily soiled is insufficient, which poses a practical problem.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to prevent the watertightness of the power transmission mechanism for rotating the shoes in the cleaning bath from being destroyed by sand that adheres to the shoes and enters. The purpose of the present invention is to enable cleaning to be performed easily and reliably by one manual operation in the case of heavy dirt.

In order to achieve this objective, the present invention provides a plurality of brush bodies that are removably installed on the bottom buttons and side walls of nine cleaning bathtubs, and are installed inside the lid body that is placed on the top of the cleaning bathtub. The motor is configured to transmit rotational force to the shoe set hanger in the cleaning bath via a speed change mechanism, and at least one of the upper 1iJ1 hairs is formed with a handle for manual cleaning.

The watertightness of the cleaning bathtub will not be destroyed due to the provision of a means for rotationally driving the shoes.Furthermore, for heavily soiled shoes, the brush body can be removed and the brush body can be easily and manually operated. You can definitely remove dirt.
