The present invention relates to a shoe washing device, and more particularly, to a shoe washing device capable of drying and washing shoes and removing odors generated from the shoes.

In general, when water enters shoes in the rain or when worn for a long time or in an unfavorable working environment, moisture and odors inside the shoes are generated due to sweat.

Therefore, the drying of shoes is usually done by removing the foreign substances on the surface and then drying it naturally by putting crumpled paper inside the shoe to remove moisture, or by placing it near a fire.

However, the drying method as described above has the disadvantage of taking a long drying time when naturally drying, and has the disadvantage of causing deformation or damage to the shoes when exposed to fire. Therefore, several prior arts have been proposed to solve the above problems.

The proposed prior art is a shoe drying device (Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-2005-0026628), a cabinet provided with a plurality of shoe support shelves and doors in which shoes are installed, and a suction formed on the lower side of the cabinet. A first blowing fan having a vent and an exhaust vent formed on the upper side of the cabinet, and for discharging air inside the cabinet to the exhaust vent, and for drying shoes positioned on a shoe support shelf, any inside of the cabinet by a magnet It includes a shoe drying unit attached to the position of the power supply and electrically connected to the power supply, and by circulating the air inside the cabinet to the outside, the humid air can be discharged to the outside, so the drying efficiency can be increased.

However, although the prior art includes a configuration for drying, foreign substances such as soil or dust adhering to the surface of the shoe cannot be washed, and the odor generated inside the shoe cannot be removed. Also, the prior art is different from the present invention in a specific configuration and a control method thereof.
