Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a shoe washing device for a washing machine that makes it possible to wash shoes using a washing machine. It was common practice to wash shoes by hand using a shoe brush, but recently there has been a demand for shoes such as sneakers, which are cloth athletic shoes, to be easily washable.

Therefore, although it was rare, I occasionally washed sneakers and other shoes in the washing machine. 2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a washing machine has a rotary blade at the inner bottom of a washing tub, and washes clothes by rotating the rotating blade left and right to generate water flow in the water in the washing tub. When shoes were placed in this washing machine instead of clothes and the rotary blades were reversed, the shoes located at the inner bottom of the washing tub moved and came into contact with the rotary blades, allowing them to be washed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when washing shoes in a washing machine as in the past, there is a problem in that the shoes frequently come into contact with the rotating blades at the inner bottom of the washing tub, which severely damages the fabric of the shoes. was. Furthermore, since the degree of dirt on shoes is greater than the dirt on clothes, there is a problem in that the dirt on shoes cannot be sufficiently washed away simply by stirring with the rotary blade.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to generate a water stream for washing shoes in a washing machine, thereby obtaining a sufficient cleaning effect on shoes and reducing damage to the shoes.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the shoe washing device for a washing machine of the present invention has a structure in which a shoe washing bag having water permeability and having a rough inner surface is inserted into the washing tub. According to the above structure, the reversing force of the rotary blade of the washing machine is directly transmitted to the shoe cleaning bag through water, and the shoe cleaning bag containing shoes is driven to rotate or turn upside down. Therefore, the shoes are rubbed by the unevenness of the inner surface of the shoe cleaning bag, and the brushing action is performed effectively, allowing the entire shoe to be brushed evenly for uniform cleaning and improving the cleaning effect. can.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the shoe cleaning bag in this embodiment is made of a water-permeable synthetic resin bag that has an opening 11L at one end and a large number of through holes 1d on the surface. The bag 1 is made up of a large bag 1, and the opening 11L is opened and closed with a zipper 2. This shoe cleaning bag 1
This has a structure in which a plurality of unevenness 1b, 1c are integrally arranged on the inner surface, and the unevenness 1b, 1C on the inner surface easily move in conjunction with each other when the shoe cleaning bag 1 is bent.

Putting the shoes 3 inside the shoe cleaning bag 1 in the above configuration,
As shown in FIG. 1, it is placed on a rotary blade 4 of a washing machine. The rotary blade 4 is disposed at the inner bottom of the washing tub 6, and is connected to the speed reduction mechanism 6.
The rotational force of the motor 7 is transmitted via. Water level setting detection means 8, which sets the water level in the washing tub S and detects the water level in the washing tub 5, outputs setting data and water level detection data to the control device 9. The control device 9 controls the water supply valve 10 based on the water level setting detection means 8 to control the water supply into the washing machine 6. Further, the control device 9 controls the supply of electricity to the motor 7.

When washing shoes using the washing machine, the water level is set low by the water level setting detection means 8.

Based on this setting, the control device 9 controls the water supply valve 1o to supply water. When the set water level is reached, the control device 9 controls the motor 7 to reversely rotate the rotor 4 to form a water flow that is optimal for shoe washing.

Next, rotation control of the motor 7 by the control device 9 will be explained with reference to FIG. That is, the control device 9 energizes the motor 7 for a short period of T seconds so that the rotor blade 4 rotates to the right, stops the energization for a short time of t1 seconds, and then shortly energizes the motor 7 so that the rotor blade 4 rotates to the left. The motor 7 is energized for 71 seconds and then stopped for a short time of t1 seconds.

The above operation is then repeated four times to perform the first reversal cycle operation. Next, energization is carried out for 72 seconds (τz>T+) and energization is stopped for t2 seconds so that the rotary blade 4 alternately rotates in the rightward and leftward directions, and this is defined as a second reversal cycle operation. The above first and second reverse cycle operations are repeated as one cycle. Note that the energization time T1 and the pause time t1 are usually about 0.3 seconds to 1.0 seconds, and the energization time T2 and the pause time t2 are about 1.0 seconds to 3.0 seconds.

The specific number of times the rotation I14 is reversed is set as shown in Table 1.

Table 1 When the rotary blade 4 is rotated according to the above time setting, the shoe cleaning bag 1 is rotated through water. During the first reversal cycle operation, since the rotary blade 4 performs a reversal operation in small steps, the shoe cleaning bag 1 similarly performs a reversal operation in small steps. By inverting the shoes in small increments, the bag 1 for cleaning shoes performs a bending motion vertically and horizontally, and the shoes 3 inside are
This results in a brushing action by rubbing against the other parts. After this brushing action is repeated multiple times, the second reversal cycle operation begins. During this second reversal cycle operation, the shoe cleaning bag 1 makes a large rotation in synchronization with the reversal of the rotary blades 4. At this time, the shoe cleaning bag 1 rubs against the outer periphery of the washing tub 6 and is turned upside down. When this second reversal cycle operation is completed, the operation returns to the first reversal cycle operation again, and the other parts of the shoe 3 are cleaned by the brushing action. Therefore, by repeating the above operation a plurality of times, the shoes 3 can be uniformly cleaned.

Furthermore, the secondary reversal cycle operation is not limited to one round trip (n, 1, S round trip, two round trips may be performed; in short,
The function of effectively inverting the shoe cleaning bag 1 can be exerted.
Good.

In addition, in this example, if the inner surface of the bag is uneven and the brushing action can be obtained by the friction between the shoes and the inner surface of the bag, the shoes can be sufficiently washed; All you need to do is make the inner surface rough.

Furthermore, if you wash your shoes with a special water stream for shoe cleaning, it can be very effectively cleaned, but even with the water stream in a conventional washing machine, if you use a shoe cleaning bag,
This can be expected to have a more sufficient cleaning effect than the conventional method of washing shoes by simply putting them in a washing machine.

More than the effects of the invention, as is clear from the description of the embodiments, according to the present invention, by roughening the inner surface of a shoe cleaning bag that bends when force is applied vertically and horizontally by reversed water flow, the inner surface of the bag is roughened. Brushing action can be obtained by separating the shoes from the surface, allowing for uniform and highly effective cleaning without damaging the shoes.
