Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a shoe dryer. Conventional shoe dryers are often open type, which means that odors and insidious air can diffuse into the room, and since circulating air cannot be used, the heater capacity must be increased or the drying time must be lengthened. It had some drawbacks and was not suitable for commercial use.

In order to improve the conventional drawbacks, this invention is a closed type, in which hot air is circulated and a portion of it is ventilated through an activated carbon filter.

In addition, in the past, shoes were often dried by leaving them on the floor and blowing warm air from above, but with this method, moisture collects on the soles of the shoes and hinders drying. This invention f
Place your shoes upside down over the hot air blowing out, and the moisture will drain out of your shoes in the form of water droplets.

To explain the diagram, Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional shoe dryer, in which the shoe sieve is placed on the floor (the floor is indicated by F.L), and a warm air generator 1 is used to heat the air. The 8 arrow R that makes the battle blow into the boots with pipe 2 shows the flow of warm air. With this traditional method, warm air after drying the shoes is released directly into the room, spreading odors. Also, you will be throwing away the hot air, which is uneconomical! be. Furthermore, since the shoes are left on the floor, moisture inside the shoes collects on the soles due to gravity, making them difficult to dry.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the shoe dryer of the present invention, which is placed on the floor (
The lower side of the casing 4 which has wheels 11 is partitioned by a partition plate 9f and a blower 6 so that the floor (indicated by F and L) can be moved.
, a heater 7 is built in. A shoe drying pipe 2 for blowing out warm air is installed upright on the partition plate 9, and shoes 6 are placed upside down on top of the pipe 2 as shown in the figure. 5
is an activated carbon filter installed on the upper side of the casing 4,
Reference numeral 8 indicates an opening through which outside air is introduced into the blower in the casing 4 as shown by the arrow a, and 91 is an opening in the partition plate through which warm air is introduced into the blower 111 as shown by the arrow F. It is designed to reflux to lI.

The kite from the blower 6 is heated by the heater 7 and becomes warm air, which enters the shoe drying pipe 2 through the opening 21 as shown by arrow R and rises through the opening 22 to blow the shoes upside down. After entering the inside of the partition plate 9 and drying the shoes, the air flows back through the opening 91 to the blower side inside the partition plate 9, as shown by arrow F.

A part of the circulating hot air passes through the activated carbon filter 5 and is discharged to the outside of the casing, but since it passes through the activated carbon filter, it is possible to prevent the diffusion of odors.

Further, the receiving position 16 of this activated carbon filter is suitably located on the upper side of the casing so as to be advantageous for exhausting hot air containing moisture. When this activated carbon filter is installed at the top, the drying time is 60% shorter than when it is installed at the bottom. Furthermore, since the present invention circulates hot air, the capacity of the heater is small and power consumption can be reduced. Since the shoes are placed upside down over the drying nozzle, water becomes droplets and falls downwards, making them easier to drain away from the shoes, thereby shortening the drying time. The discharged water droplets remain on the partition plate 9, but under normal usage conditions, they evaporate due to the warm air coming out of the shoes 6.Therefore, there is no problem!However, under different usage conditions, the water droplets may evaporate. If there are too many water droplets, which impede drying, a tube 10 for discharging water droplets is provided.

The shoe dryer of the present invention is constructed as described above, and does not diffuse odor into the room, consumes less power, and requires only a short drying time.

Claims (2)

[Claims] (1) A part of the casing is surrounded by a partition plate, and a blower and a heater are built inside the partition plate. On the other hand, a shoe drying pipe that blows out warm air is installed on the partition plate, and the heat obtained by the heater is installed. A shoe dryer characterized in that the air blower is configured to exhaust a small amount of air from inside a casing through a shoe drying pipe and circulate most of the remaining air. (2) A patented shoe dryer characterized in that the casing is equipped with an activated carbon filter for discharging a portion of the circulating hot air.
