Each brush 600 is sprayed with a cleaning liquid through an injection nozzle 810.

The injection nozzles 810 are installed to spray the cleaning liquid between the left brush 610 and the right brush 620, and a plurality of injection nozzles 810 are provided at predetermined positions so as to be provided at positions corresponding to the respective brushes 600. .

In addition, the injection nozzle 810 is provided on one side of the frame 10 is connected to the washing liquid reservoir 800 and the connecting pipe 802 for storing the washing liquid, the pump 820 is installed on a portion of the connecting pipe to the washing liquid And to pump with the spray nozzle.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the power of the drive motor is transmitted using gears, sprockets and chains, but power may be transmitted using a conventional pulley and a timing belt.

Then, a lower portion of the washing tank 100 is equipped with a discharge hose (not shown) to discharge the used washing liquid to the outside, the outlet 120 of the washing tank 100, the guider 14 on the frame 10 Is provided, the end portion of the guider is provided with a separate reservoir 900 for the washed shoes are collected.

In addition, although not shown on one side of the washing tank is provided with a conventional power supply unit, a button unit and a control unit.

Now, the washing method and the effect of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, when a button is supplied to supply power, the conveyor driving means 500 is operated to simultaneously drive the lower conveyor 200 and the upper conveyor 300.

That is, when power is supplied and the driving motor 502 of the conveyor driving means 500 is operated, the driving gear 506 connected to the motor shaft 504 is rotated, and the driven gear 508 is the driving gear 506. It is engaged with and rotates in the reverse direction.

In addition, the first driving sprocket 510 connected to the drive gear 506 and the second driving sprocket 512 connected to the driven gear 508 are rotated in engagement with each other, and are connected to the chains 514 and 520. The first driven sprocket 512 and the second driven sprocket 518 are rotated.

Then, the lower conveyor driving sprocket 202 connected to the first driven sprocket 512 rotates to drive the lower conveyor 200 through the lower conveyor chain 206, and to drive the upper conveyor connected to the second driven sprocket 518. As the sprocket 302 rotates, the upper conveyor 300 is driven through the upper conveyor chain 306.

At this time, the lower conveyor 200 and the upper conveyor 300 are driven at the same speed, it is driven in the direction to mesh with each other.

As the conveyor is driven as described above, the brushes 600 are operated by the brush driving means 700 to rotate in the direction in which the left brush 610 and the right brush 620 are engaged with each other.

That is, when the drive motor 702 of the brush drive means 700 is operated, the drive gear 706 connected to the motor shaft 704 is rotated, the driven gear 708 is meshed with the drive gear 706 in the reverse direction Will rotate.

In addition, the first driving sprocket 710 connected to the drive gear 706 and the second driving sprocket 712 connected to the driven gear 708 are rotated in engagement with each other, and the first driving sprocket 710 and the right side thereof are rotated. Each of the right driven sprockets 718 connected to the chain 720 and the left driven sprockets 714 connected to the second driving sprocket 712 and the left chain 716 also rotate together.

When the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket rotate through the chain, each of the left and right brushes 610 and 620 is rotated while the respective central axes 612 and 622 rotate. At this time, the left brush and the right brush are rotated at the same speed, it is rotated in the direction of engagement with each other.

When the conveyor is driven and the brush rotates as described above, the user continuously places a pair of shoes S to be washed on the support plate 216 of the lower conveyor 200 at the inlet 110 of the washing tank 100.

Then, the corresponding shoe fixture among the plurality of shoe fixtures 400 provided on the upper conveyor 300 and moving along the conveyor is inserted into the shoe S seated on the support plate 216 to press the shoes to support the shoe support plate. To prevent the phases from being separated.

In this fixed state, the shoes are transported along the conveyor and are washed by friction with the brush while passing between the left brush 610 and the right brush 620 which are rotating in engagement with each other. At this time, the washing liquid is sprayed at regular intervals between the brush 600 through the spray nozzle 810 to help the washing action.

In the present invention, since the plurality of brushes 600 are installed at predetermined intervals and the shoes S to be washed are washed several times while passing through the plurality of brushes 600, a clear and clean washing action can be obtained. .

While passing through the brush 600, the wash shoes S are collected through the guider 14, and the water collecting container 900 provided separately is collected.

Collected shoes are typically rinsed through separate rinsing means, and dehydrated and dried using separate dehydrating means and drying means.

As described above, the present invention is not only very convenient because the shoe S is automatically cleaned, but also cleansing is performed because the shoe is washed several times while passing through the plurality of brushes 600 in sequence.

In addition, the present invention has the advantage that the washing operation is very easy because the cleaning is made automatically just put the shoes (S) to be washed on the support plate 216 to be transported along the conveyor.

In particular, the present invention does not need to replace the shoes that need to continue to replace the shoes to be cleaned when the shoe is completed, as in the conventional shoe washer shoe washing time is shortened to wash more shoes at the same time It becomes possible.

As described above, the present invention not only provides convenience to users by washing several shoes at a time using the full automatic operation, but also shortens the shoe washing time because the operation of continuously changing shoes is omitted. And, since the shoes are washed while passing through a plurality of brushes in sequence there is a more clean and clean wash effect.
