Description

{Method and Apparatus for Controlling Sterilization, Drying and Deodorization of Shoes}

The present invention relates to a control method and device for sterilizing, drying, and deodorizing shoes.

In general, shoes worn every day become sweaty due to long-term use, causing various bacteria to multiply inside the shoes, which generates a bad smell and makes it difficult to keep them hygienically clean.

When it rains, your shoes become wet with rainwater, and if you continue to use them in that condition, moisture and bacteria may develop inside the shoes, which may cause bad odors or foot health problems.

To remove moisture and bacteria inside these shoes, washing or natural drying is used, but washing or natural drying is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to wear clean shoes every day.

To solve this problem, products using ozone, ultraviolet rays, and hot air to sterilize and dry shoes have been proposed, but most of these are designed to store shoes or the hot air spreads the odor of shoes throughout the room. It was difficult to use it indoors due to its own fishy odor such as ozone.

In addition, there were many cases where ultraviolet rays did not directly reach the deepest part of the shoe where the toes reach, or the ultraviolet rays were only irradiated locally.

Conventional shoe sterilizers have to change the drying time and sterilization time depending on the season, weather, and humidity inside and outside the shoes, but since they sterilize with uniform sterilization time and drying temperature, they have the problem of not being able to sterilize various types of shoes efficiently. there was.

According to the prior art, it is not a product applied with an algorithm that comprehensively analyzes the inside and outside condition of the shoe and performs sterilization, deodorization, and drying based on this, for example, 60 minutes. It adopts a control method based on a simple timer function such as 90-minute and 120-minute courses.

In the case of shoe sterilizers according to the prior art, various sterilization methods are applied to propose a shoe sterilization effect. In particular, most of the product lines that sterilize by inserting them inside have limited modules that sterilize only part of the toe area or only a moderate area. Due to its shape and scope, shaded areas are created that make sterilization vulnerable.

Among some chamber-type products on the market, there are products that measure the basic condition of the shoe by installing a temperature and humidity sensor inside the body, but basically, measurement sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors and gas sensors have an error value range, so they are outside the shoe. When measuring in , there is a possibility that accurate condition analysis may not be performed.

In other words, more accurate measurement values can be obtained by inserting the sensor directly into the shoe and measuring it, rather than measuring the condition of the shoe after attaching the sensor to the shoe sterilizer body.

Ultraviolet rays have a wavelength ranging from 10 to 400 nm, and can be divided into UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, and VUV depending on the wavelength range. The shorter the wavelength of electric waves, the stronger the energy, and the ultraviolet rays used for disinfection use the 200-280 nm range. UV-C lamps (254nm) and UV-C LEDs (approximately 270-275nm) are mainly used in household products.

Ultraviolet sterilizers use short wavelength UV-C to destroy the DNA of bacteria and viruses, enabling rapid sterilization and disinfection. At this time, only the parts directly exposed to UV-C are sterilized, and there is a disadvantage that UV rays do not pass through stainless steel, plastic, etc. Therefore, in the case of overlapping parts, the expected sterilization effect may not be achieved. Additionally, because the ultraviolet sterilization effect is inversely proportional to humidity, putting it in while it is still wet may reduce the sterilization effect. Additionally, UV-C is a sterilization method that destroys DNA, so care must be taken to avoid exposure to eyes and skin.

There is a lot of bacterial growth on the inner surface that actually comes in contact with the foot, so it is desirable to cleanly sterilize the inside, but according to the prior art, there was a disadvantage that it was difficult to sterilize the inside of the shoe due to the UV external irradiation method. Additionally, UV irradiation on the outside of a shoe could cause discoloration of the shoe's outer shell depending on the shoe material and irradiation time.

According to the prior art, a method of sterilizing through ozone generation was proposed. Although it appears that the effect of sterilizing the surface of shoes is to a certain extent, it was unknown whether it was possible to sterilize the inside where bacteria actually live.

In order to improve this problem, the UV-C sterilizer according to an embodiment of the present invention combines external measurement data collected from a plurality of camera modules and internal measurement data collected from sterilization and sensor modules to determine the degree of contamination inside and outside the shoe and the condition of the shoe. (For example, shoe type, material, wet condition), etc. can be comprehensively judged, and the exterior and interior of the shoe can be sterilized, dried, and deodorized through the sterilization and sensor module under the control of the control module.

Additionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, sterilization, antibacterialism, and deodorization can be performed using LED light, which is harmless to the human body.

The blowing fan according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used to dry and sterilize from the outer skin using a convection circulation method, or to dry and sterilize from the inner skin using an individual drying method.

The UV-C sterilizer according to an embodiment of the present invention enables bacterial growth inhibition and sterilization with only a short irradiation time. For example, UV sterilization power is reduced in a wet state, so taking this into consideration, the optimal sterilization method set according to the control of the control module is possible. Depending on the shoe management algorithm, the initial wetness of the shoes can be alleviated to a certain extent and then sterilized using a UV-C sterilizer.

In the case of the deodorization algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control algorithm can be set using the values, temperature, and humidity measured by the gas sensor. The deodorization function operates at all times, and the contamination level inside the actual hair can be provided to the user through the main display. Deodorization can be performed using deodorizing technologies such as plasma ion modules such as ION-HADES5 or photocatalytic methods using UV.

In the case of the drying algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention, control is performed in the recommended temperature range according to the humidity state inside the shoe, not the humidity state inside the device, and the maximum temperature does not exceed 60°C to prevent the risk of shoe damage. It can be set not to do so. By varying the temperature control range depending on the humidity condition inside the shoe, drying efficiency can be increased and shoe damage can be minimized. In other words, drying efficiency can be increased by controlling the temperature of the sterilization and sensor installed in the shoe sterilization, drying, and deodorizing device (in other words, the body) and the sterilization and sensor inserted into the shoe, and periodic internal condition measurement. Real-time temperature control can be performed through this.
