As shown in these figures, the air shower apparatus according to the present invention is easy to clean shoes. The air shower apparatus includes a shower booth 10 having a receiving space in which a user can enter and leave the shower cab 10, A plurality of air blowing nozzles 20 and a plurality of rotating rods 30 horizontally disposed at a predetermined interval on the bottom of the shower booth 10 and a plurality of air blowing nozzles 20 provided below the rotating rods 30, , And a suction port (50) for sucking foreign matter and air.

The shower booth 10 is formed in the form of a box having a receiving space therein and includes at least one door and a door so that the door can be closed when a user enters or exits the door. Here, two or three or more doors and doors may be formed depending on the use environment.

The shower booth 10 is provided with a circulation pump 11 and an air injection nozzle 20 and has an air passage (not shown) capable of supplying air to the circumference of the shower booth 10, that is, . A plurality of air jet nozzles 20 are installed on the wall surface of the shower booth 10 and on the ceiling. When the air is sprayed through the air spray nozzle 20, foreign matter adhering to the worker's clothes is dropped.

At the bottom of the shower booth (10), a plurality of rotation bars (30) are horizontally arranged at regular intervals. The rotation bar 30 is installed at an interval such that the operator's shoes S are not removed, and is installed so that both ends are axially coupled and rotated. The rotation bar 30 is provided with an interlocking means 35 such as a belt, a pulley, or a chain, a sprocket, or a gear at one end thereof for interlocking rotation. The interlocking means 35 is connected to the motor M and the speed reducer so that the rotation shaft 30 is rotated through the interlocking means 35 when the motor M is driven. Here, the rotation bar 30 rotates very slowly so that the user can not feel the movement when he / she climbs up so that the user can feel the stability. Of course, the number of rotations of the rotatable bar 30 can be adjusted. In order to make the rotation of the rotatable bar 30 slightly faster and the user feel unstable, A handle 12 is provided.

A brush (40) is provided under the rotating bar (30). The brush 40 is composed of a cylindrical body 41 which rotates in a direction perpendicular to the rotation bar 30 and a wrist 42 radially attached to the periphery of the body 41. Here, the protrusions 42 may be formed at regular intervals only between the rotation bars 30 as shown in the figure, or may be formed on the entire body 41. The rotation bar 30 can be cleaned when it is formed on the entire body 41. [ Such a brush 40 only cleans the exposed portion of the bottom of the shoe S, that is, the portion exposed between the swinging bar 30 and the swinging bar 30, but the swinging bar 30 is rotated, So that all parts of the bottom of the shoe S are cleaned.

In addition, the rotation bar 30 may be formed as a tube having a plurality of through holes 31 formed therearound. In this case, one end of the rotation bar 30 communicates with the air passage to receive air, and the supplied air is injected to the outside through the through hole 31, so that the rotation bar 30 injects air. That is, since the air is sprayed in a state very close to the floor of the shoe S, the foreign matter removal rate on the shoe S is greatly increased.

Meanwhile, a suction port 50 is installed in the lower portion of the shower booth 10 and the bottom of the brush 40. The suction port 50 simultaneously sucks foreign matter such as dust falling from the clothes and shoes S and air to remove foreign substances in the shower booth 10. The foreign matter introduced through the inlet port 50 is filtered through a separate filter, and the air is injected again into the shower booth 10 by the circulation pump 11.

The operation and effect of the air shower device having such a structure, which is easy to clean shoes, according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, when the user enters through the doorway, when the door is closed and the apparatus is operated, air is sprayed through all the air injection nozzles 20 to remove various foreign substances adhering to the user's clothes. In addition, the brush 40 exposed between the rotation bars 30 of the floor rotates to remove foreign matter adhering to the bottom of the user's exposed shoes S. In this process, the rotation bar 30 is slowly rotated to move the user, and the exposed portion of the bottom of the shoes S is continuously changed. Then, the brush 40 cleans the exposed portion of the floor of the shoe S which is continuously changed. The rotation of the rotation bar 30 proceeds very slowly so that the user stands in a stable state. Of course, if the user wishes to remove dust quickly, the speed of the rotary bar 30 can be adjusted. In this case, the user can hold the handle 12 and maintain a stable state.

In the case where the entrance and exit of the shower booth 10 are one, and the exit and entrance are separate and not facing each other, the rotation bar 30 repeats forward rotation and reverse rotation, and changes and exposes the exposed part of the shoe bottom. When the inlet and the outlet are located in a direction facing each other, the rotation bar 30 can rotate in the direction of the outlet to move the user. In this case, the user is automatically guided to the exit without being moved and the cleaning is performed. Of course, the forward rotation and the reverse rotation may be repeated, and finally, the rotation may be made in the direction of the exit to move the user.

The foreign matter dropped by the air sprayed in this way is sucked by the suction port 50 provided in the lower portion of the shower booth 10. The sucked foreign matter is caught by a separate filter, and the air is again injected from the air injection nozzle 20 into the shower booth 10 by the circulation pump 11. This process is repeated to remove foreign substances from the user's clothes and shoes (S).

6 is a side view showing the bottom structure of an air shower apparatus which is easy to clean shoes, according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the body 41 of the brush 40 is installed parallel to the rotation bar .

The brush 40 has a cylindrical body 41 that rotates in a direction parallel to the rotation bar 30 and rotates and a cylindrical body 41 that is radially attached to the periphery of the body 41 and has a distal end exposed to the upper portion of the rotation bar 30. [ (42). When the body 41 of the brush 40 is installed in parallel to the rotation bar 30, the brim 42 can be provided in the lateral direction without any sideways so that the entire area of the shoe bottom can be cleaned.

FIG. 7 is a front view showing a floor structure of an air shower apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, the structure of the brush 40 may be different.

That is, the brush 40 includes a cylindrical body 41 provided in parallel to at least two in a direction orthogonal to the rotation bar 30, a belt 43 surrounding the periphery of the body 41, And a wrist 42 provided perpendicularly to the wrist. Thus, the belt 43 surrounding the body 41 is repeatedly moved in a predetermined orbit. Since the upper portion of the belt 43 continuously moves in a linear direction and the wrist 42 exposed thereby is also transferred between the rotating rods 30, the wrist 42 is moved in the lateral direction so that all portions of the bottom of the shoe are cleaned .

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a handle of an air shower apparatus which is easy to clean shoes, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the handle 12 is provided to be conveyed.

The handle 12 is composed of a guide 13 having a horizontal upper end and a belt 14 wound on the guide 13 and moving in one direction. Here, the belt 14 is exposed to the outside and becomes the handle 12. Since the belt 14 is repeatedly moved along the guide 13 in a predetermined orbit and its upper portion is horizontal, the belt 14 can be easily gripped by hand. By having the handle 12 having the same feed speed as the advancing direction of the turn bar 30, the user can move in a stable state holding the pull 12.
