Description

Smart shoe storage system with drying and sanitizing function

The present invention relates to a smart shoe storage system having a drying and sterilizing function, and more specifically, a drying and sterilizing function that allows drying, sterilization, and deodorization of shoes in the shoe cabinet to be automatically and efficiently performed according to the condition of the shoe. It relates to a smart shoe storage system.

In general, shoes have different conditions depending on conditions such as the wearer's activity area, activity type, wearer's foot health condition, and climate used, but as they are used, moisture and odor are generated therein.

Such shoes are usually stored in a shoe cabinet, which has been used only as a storage cabinet limited to storage of other items in addition to the purpose of storing shoes. So, most of the shoe racks are made up of spaces for storing shoes and spaces for storing other items, so if you re-wear shoes without going through a separate drying and sterilization process, you may feel uncomfortable, and in case of rain To dry the wet shoes by wearing them, natural drying is performed in a separate shaded place, causing a lot of time and inconvenience in drying, and further deforming the shoes.

In addition, for long-term storage of shoes in the shoe rack, to prevent germ propagation and circular deformation that may occur due to moisture inside the shoe rack, a separate moisture inhibitor, newspaper, green tea leaves, coffee powder, etc., are used inside the shoe rack for deodorization. There was a hassle to keep together. In addition, by re-wearing unsterilized shoes, not only the occurrence of bacterial foot diseases such as athlete's foot, but also the treatment takes a long time, as well as the problem of spreading foot diseases such as athlete's foot to people around I had.
