Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoe washing device for a washing machine that allows shoes to be washed using a washing machine.

Conventional technology In the past, shoes were generally washed 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 washed. .

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 rotor blades were reversed, the arsenic located at the inner bottom of the washing tub moved while coming into contact with the rotor blades, allowing the washing machine to be washed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when washing shoes in a washing machine as in the past, the shoes frequently come into contact with the rotary blades at the inner bottom of the washing tub to remove dirt from the shoes. There are various stains. The main source of dirt is sand. This sand falls from the bag and flows into the washing tub or into the bottom of the outer tub that contains the washing tub, and the sand is washed away by a watertight oil seal, usually made of rubber, attached to the washing shaft that supports and rotates the rotor blades, or by the outer tub. Sand may enter the water-tight oil seal, which is also made of rubber, at the bottom of the tank, damaging the oil seal or the shaft, damaging the water-tightness, causing water leaks, and causing shaft rotation problems. This has the problem that this occurs.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to create a structure that prevents sand adhering to shoes from dropping into a washing tub or an outer tub, and to prevent damage to a watertight oil seal.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the shoe washing device for a washing machine of the present invention includes a shoe washing brush having an elastic shoe washing plan body provided on a flexible substrate. The shoe washing brush unit is placed on a rotary blade of a washing machine with the brush body facing upward, and an upwardly facing outer peripheral side wall is formed on the outer periphery of the shoe washing brush unit. .

Effect With the above configuration, the reversing force of the rotary blade of the washing machine is transmitted to the back surface of the substrate of the shoe-washing brush unit through water to drive the shoe-washing brush unit in reverse, and the brushing action between the brush body and the shoes removes dirt from the shoes. Especially removing sand. Because of the outer circumferential side wall of the shoe washing brush unit, the sand that has been dropped does not fall out of the shoe washing brush unit, but accumulates inside the shoe washing plan unit.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the shoe cleaning brush unit in this embodiment has a substantially circular flexible substrate 1.
A brush body 2 is provided on top. This brush body 2 consists of a plurality of elastic chemical fiber bodies 3 and a base 4 made of resin or the like.
The hair has been transplanted into the hair.

Further, the brush bodies 21d are disposed radially from approximately the center O of the substrate 1, and are fixed with screws 6 from the back surface of the substrate 1 as shown in FIG. Moreover, an upwardly directed outer peripheral wall 6 is formed on the outer periphery of the substrate 1 integrally with the substrate 1 so as to be higher than the chemical fiber body 3.

The shoe washing brush unit having the above configuration is placed on the rotary blade 7 of the washing machine, as shown in FIG. At this time, the brush body 2 is made to face upward, and the shoes 8 to be cleaned are placed on the brush body 2. The rotary blade 7 is disposed at the inner bottom of the washing tub 9 housed in the outer tub 15, and the rotational force of the motor 11 is transmitted through the reduction mechanism 10. Water level setting detection means 12 that sets the water level in the washing tub 9 and detects the water level in the washing tub 9 outputs setting data and water level detection data to the control device 13. The control device 13 controls the water supply valve 14 based on the water level setting detection means 12 to control the water supply into the washing tub 9. Further, the control device 13 controls the supply of electricity to the motor 11 .

When washing shoes using the washing machine, the water level is set low by the water level setting detection means 12.

Based on this setting, the control device 13 controls the water supply valve 14 to supply water. When the set water level is reached, control device 1
3 controls the motor 11 to reversely rotate the rotor 7 to form a water flow suitable for washing shoes.

Next, rotation control of the motor 11 by the control device 12 will be explained with reference to FIG. That is, the control device 13 energizes the motor 11 for a short time T1 seconds so that the rotor blade 7 rotates to the right, stops the power supply for a short time t1 seconds, and then energizes the motor 11 for a short time so that the rotor blade 7 rotates to the left. T, the second motor 11 is energized, and the energization is stopped for a short period of t1 seconds. Then, the above operation is repeated four times to perform a second reversal cycle operation. Next, the rotor blade 7 rotates alternately to the right and left for 72 seconds (T2>).
T, ) energization is performed, and energization is stopped for t2 seconds, and this is considered as a second reversal cycle operation. The above-mentioned first and second reversal cycle operations are repeated as one cycle. In addition, the energization time T
1 and rest time t1 are usually about 0.3 seconds to 1.0 seconds, and energization time T2 and rest time t2 ij 1 , O
It is approximately 3.0 seconds to 3.0 seconds.

The specific number of times the rotor blade 7 turns over is set as shown in Table 1.

When the rotary blade 7 is rotated according to the above time setting, the shoe washing brush unit is rotated through water. During the first reversal cycle, the rotary blade 7 performs a reversal operation in small steps, so the shoe washing brush unit similarly performs reversal in small steps. Due to this reversal, the brush body 2 and the shoe 8 rub against each other,
This will perform a brushing action. After this brushing action is repeated multiple times, a second reversal cycle begins. During this second reversal cycle, the shoe washing brush unit performs a large rotation in synchronization with the reversal of the rotary blades 7. At this time, the shoe 8 also moves sharply, and the shoe 8 is turned over.

Further, the shoe washing brush unit is easily attracted to the rotary blades 6, the rotational force is reliably transmitted, and the movement of the shoes 8 can be increased. When this second reversal cycle is completed, the first reversal cycle is resumed and other parts of the shoe 8 are cleaned by the brushing action. Therefore, by repeating the above operation multiple times, the shoes 8 can be uniformly cleaned. In addition, since the brush bodies 2 of the shoe washing brush unit are arranged radially, a water flow can also be formed on the shoe washing brush unit in the second reversal cycle, and the knot can be reliably turned over. During the first and second reversal cycles, the cleaning effect of water flow can be obtained.

There are various types of dirt on shoes, but the main one is sand.

Even when the shoes are washed and the sand adhering to the shoes is removed by the brushing action, this sand is contained within the substrate 1 by the outer circumferential wall 6 provided on the outer periphery of the substrate 1, and the sand is collected in the cleavage tank 9 or Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the dehydrated oil does not fall into the outer tank 15, and the dehydrated oil of the dewatering shaft 18 rotates the washing oil nozzle 1 of the washing shaft 16 that rotates the rotary blade 7 left and right, and the dewatering shaft 18 that rotates the washing tank 9. There is no risk of damaging the watertightness of seal 19. Further, the watertightness of the outer tank 16 and the watertightness of the dehydrating oil seal 19 are not impaired, and no water leakage occurs.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, a shoe cleaning brush unit is constructed in which a resilient shoe cleaning brush body is provided on a flexible substrate, and By forming an upward facing outer peripheral side wall on the outer periphery of the brush unit, even if sand adhering to shoes is removed by brushing, it will accumulate inside this shoe washing brush unit and will accumulate in the inner bottom of the washing tub and outer tub, making it watertight. To provide a shoe washing device for a washing machine that does not impair the performance of an oil seal that ensures the cleanliness of the shoes and is free from the risk of water leakage.
