Abstract

一种洗鞋装置,其能以不产生损伤的方式全方位地清洗鞋的整体即外、内以及背侧,并能实现小型化。洗鞋装置(1)包括:收纳室(3),收纳鞋(S);保持部(5),在收纳室(3)内以使鞋底(SZ)朝向上侧(Z1)的横向姿势保持鞋(S);旋转构件(37),绕铅直延伸的旋转轴线(J)进行旋转,在收纳室(3)内配置于鞋S的下侧(Z2);以及第一喷嘴(7A),设置于旋转构件(37),向收纳室(3)内的鞋(S)喷射清洗液。

Description

洗鞋装置 技术领域
本发明涉及洗鞋装置。
背景技术
在下述专利文献1所公开的洗鞋机中,在配置于外桶内的内桶的底部中央,自由旋转地设置有上下延伸的旋转轴。在旋转轴的下部,一体地设置有圆形的翼(通常所说的波轮)。在旋转轴的周侧面,遍及上下地设置有横向突出到内桶的内表面附近的主刷,在翼上设置有朝上突出的副刷。当旋转轴在内桶被供水而鞋被放入旋转轴与内桶的内表面之间的状态下反转时,该鞋通过被主刷和副刷摩擦而被洗涤。
在像专利文献1那样用刷子擦洗鞋的情况下,可能会对鞋的布料产生损伤。此外,假若鞋的外表面总是同一个部位被摩擦的话,就难以全方位地清洗鞋的外表面。此外,由于刷子不易到达鞋的内侧,因而难以充分地清洗鞋的内侧。此外,洗鞋装置一直被要求小型化。

发明内容
发明所要解决的问题
本发明是基于这样的背景而完成的发明,其目的在于提供一种洗鞋装置,其能以不产生损伤的方式全方位地清洗鞋的整体即鞋的外、内以及背侧,并能实现小型化。
用于解决问题的方案
本发明是一种洗鞋装置,包括:收纳室,收纳鞋;保持部,在所述收纳室内以使鞋底朝向上侧的横向姿势保持鞋;旋转构件,绕铅直延伸的旋转轴线进行旋转,在所述收纳室内配置于鞋的下侧;以及第一喷嘴,设置于所述旋转构 件,向所述收纳室内的鞋喷射清洗液。
此外,本发明的特征在于,还包括:延设部,在所述收纳室内从所述旋转构件延伸到鞋的鞋底的上侧,能与所述旋转构件一体旋转;以及第二喷嘴,在所述延设部设置于鞋底的上侧的部分,向鞋底喷射清洗液。
此外,本发明的特征在于,设置有多个所述第二喷嘴,所述第二喷嘴的位置以及清洗液的喷射角度因每个所述第二喷嘴而异。
此外,本发明的特征在于,还包括格子状的分隔构件,所述分隔构件在所述收纳室内设置于鞋与所述旋转构件之间,将所述收纳室分隔为配置鞋的上空间和配置所述旋转构件的下空间。
此外,本发明的特征在于,清洗液所使用的洗涤剂以10质量%以下的比例含有表面活性剂。
发明效果
根据本发明,在洗鞋装置中,保持部将收纳室内的鞋以鞋底朝向上侧且覆盖脚背的鞋帮部和鞋口朝向下侧的横向姿势保持。因此,由于与鞋被以纵向的姿势保持的情况相比能将收纳室的高度尺寸抑制地较小,因而能实现洗鞋装置整体的小型化。
此外,在收纳室内配置于鞋的下侧的旋转构件绕铅直延伸的旋转轴线进行旋转,设置于旋转构件的第一喷嘴一边与旋转构件一体旋转,一边从下侧向收纳室内的鞋喷射清洗液。由此,对于由保持部保持的横向姿势的鞋而言,能通过对整个鞋帮部分全方位地泼洒清洗液来清洗鞋帮部也就是鞋的外部,还能通过从鞋口进入鞋的内部空间的清洗液来清洗该内部空间也就是鞋的内部,还能通过碰撞到收纳室的顶部而落下的清洗液来清洗鞋底也就是鞋的背侧。因此,即使不用刷子等摩擦鞋,通过从喷嘴喷射的清洗液,也能以不产生损伤的方式全方位地清洗鞋的整体。
此外,由于第一喷嘴能随着与旋转构件旋转而大范围喷射清洗液,因而即使在靠近鞋的状态下,也能将清洗液全方位地泼洒到鞋的整体。因此,由于通过以靠近鞋的方式配置第一喷嘴,能将收纳室抑制地较小,因而能实现洗鞋装置整体的进一步小型化。
此外,根据本发明,由于在从旋转构件向上侧延伸的延设部设置于鞋底的上侧的部分的第二喷嘴能随着与旋转构件一体旋转而从上侧向收纳室内的鞋的 鞋底的大范围喷射清洗液,因而能有效地清洗鞋底。
此外,根据本发明,由于设置有多个的第二喷嘴的位置以及清洗液的喷射角度因每个第二喷嘴而异,因而即使是形状、大小不同的鞋底,也能通过旋转的多个第二喷嘴将从各个方向喷射的清洗液全方位地泼洒到整个鞋底。因此,即使是形状、大小不同的鞋底也能有效地得到清洗。
此外,根据本发明,将收纳室分隔为上空间和下空间的分隔构件设置于上空间的鞋与下空间的旋转构件之间。因此,能防止由于从保持部意外掉落的鞋与旋转构件接触而使旋转构件的旋转、清洗液从喷嘴的喷射受到阻碍。此外,由于分隔构件为格子状,因而从喷嘴喷射的清洗液能穿过分隔构件的格孔从而可靠地到达鞋。因此,即使存在分隔构件,也能通过从喷嘴喷射的清洗液来可靠地清洗鞋。
此外,根据本发明,由于清洗液所使用的洗涤剂以10质量%以下的比例含有表面活性剂,因而能抑制清洗液的起泡,防止因清洗液的泡沫而导致喷嘴堵塞,能防止因泡沫的反作用力而导致喷嘴旋转受阻和停止。由此,由于能持续从喷嘴喷射清洗液,因而能通过清洗液可靠地清洗鞋。

在前壁15,设置有覆盖其前侧面的整个区域的罩21。罩21既可以是独立于前壁15的部件,也可以是前壁15的一部分。在罩21的前侧面,例如在上端部,设置有由供使用者操作的按钮等构成的操作部22。在前壁15的上端部,在操作部22的下侧Z2的位置,形成有沿着前后方向Y贯通前壁15和罩21双方的排气口23。在排气口23,设置有例如由网等构成的片状的过滤构件24。图1中,过滤构件24在排气口23的前端、后端以及中途各设置一个,合计设置三个。需要说明的是,设置于排气口23的中途的过滤构件24位于前壁15与罩21 的交界处。
在后壁16的上端部,设置有与水龙头(未图示)连接的供水路25。详细地说,在供水路25,与水龙头侧相反侧的一端部25A沿着前后方向Y贯通后壁16的上端部,在一端部25A的前端,形成有从后壁16向前侧Y1突出并朝向前侧Y1的供水口25B。在一端部25A的中途,设置有可开闭的供水阀26。在后壁16的前侧面,隔开间隔地安装有从前侧Y1与供水口25B对置的板状的对置部27。需要说明的是,为了方便图示,左右方向X上的供水口25B以及对置部27的位置在图2和图3中不同。
左壁17以及右壁18具有在左右方向X上一致的板厚方向并形成为沿着上下方向Z的大致矩形的板状,左壁17架设于前壁15以及后壁16的左端之间,右壁18架设于前壁15以及后壁16的右端之间(参照图2)。在壳体2的上端部,形成有由前壁15、后壁16、左壁17以及右壁18各自的上端部围成的大致矩形的出入口2A。此外,在壳体2的上表面,形成有分别沿着前壁15的上端面的后端缘部、后壁16的上端面的前端缘部、左壁17的上端面的右端缘部以及右壁18的上端面的左端缘部下沉一截的台阶部2B。台阶部2B是沿水平方向的平坦面,形成为在从上侧Z1观察的俯视状态下包围出入口2A的大致矩形的框状。
底壁19在上下方向Z上具有一致的板厚方向并形成为沿着水平方向的大致矩形的板状,底壁19的四边分别连接于左壁17、右壁18、前壁15以及后壁16各自的下端(也参照图3)。在底壁19的下表面的四角,逐一设置有与载置洗鞋装置1的地面接触的脚部28。虽然底壁19的上表面的大部分区域是沿水平方向的平坦面,但是在该上表面的大致前半部分的区域,沿着前后方向Y排列形成有向下侧Z2凹陷的第一凹部19A以及第二凹部19B。虽然第一凹部19A以及第二凹部19B俯视时形成为大致矩形,但是第一凹部19A在左右方向X上比第二凹部19B长,第二凹部19B从后侧Y2连续配置于左右方向X上的第一凹部19A的中央部(参照图2)。第一凹部19A的底面19C以及第二凹部19B的底面19D是沿水平方向的大致矩形的平坦面。由于第二凹部19B比第一凹部19A深,因而底面19D以比底面19C更偏向下侧Z2的方式配置。在俯视时的底面19D的中央,在底壁19形成有向下侧Z2凹陷的凹状的清洗/排出用孔19E。在清洗/排出用孔19E,设置有例如由网等构成的片状的过滤构件29。
在底壁19内,设置有排水路30。排水路30的一端从前侧Y1与清洗/排出用孔19E的下端部连接,排水路30的另一端作为排水口30A,例如向后侧Y2贯通后壁16,被拉出到壳体2之外也就是洗鞋装置1的装置外。排水路30从清洗/排出用孔19E侧的一端弯折并向下侧Z2延伸之后,再弯折并向后侧Y2延伸,然后,在向上侧Z1弯折并向后侧Y2弯折之后延伸至排水口30A。
顶壁20具有在上下方向Z上一致的板厚方向并形成为沿水平方向的大致矩形的板状。俯视时的顶壁20的外周部从上侧Z1置于壳体2的台阶部2B,顶壁20从上侧Z1堵塞出入口2A。在顶壁20的外周部的下表面,设置有向下侧Z2突出的密封垫31,顶壁20的外周部与台阶部2B的上下方向Z的间隙由密封垫31堵塞。在顶壁20,在偏向后侧Y2的位置,设置有向左右方向X延伸的转动轴32,顶壁20被分割为转动轴32的后侧Y2的支承部20A和转动轴32的前侧Y1的盖部20B。支承部20A的位置被固定,盖部20B经由转动轴32由支承部20A支承,并能绕转动轴32上下转动。如图1所示,沿水平方向的姿势的盖部20B处于闭位置,从上侧Z1堵塞出入口2A,从闭位置向上侧Z1转动后的盖部20B(未图示)处于开位置,将出入口2A向上侧Z1敞开。
收纳室3是在前后方向Y上夹在前壁15以及后壁16之间、在左右方向X上夹在左壁17以及右壁18之间、在上下方向Z上夹在底壁19以及顶壁20之间的大致长方体状的空间,构成洗鞋装置1的内部空间。底壁19的上表面的第一凹部19A以及第二凹部19B是收纳室3的一部分。
分隔构件4形成为格子状。作为分隔构件4,除了例如树脂制、金属制的格子之外,还可以使用由金属丝等线材构成的网等。无论是哪种情况,在分隔构件4的整个区域,作为该格子格孔都形成有沿着上下方向Z贯通分隔构件4的许多贯通孔4A。分隔构件4通过在上下方向Z的比收纳室3的中央偏向下侧Z2的位置沿着水平方向配置,从而将收纳室3分隔为分隔构件4的上侧Z1的上空间3A和分隔构件4的下侧Z2的下空间3B。上空间3A具有能轻松收纳作为洗鞋装置1的清洗对象的一双鞋S的宽度。下空间3B在上下方向Z上比上空间3A小。在上空间3A的上端部,前壁15的排气口23处于从前侧Y1直接连通的状态,设置于后壁16的供水路25的供水口25B处于从后侧Y2直接连通的状态。
按照一双鞋S,保持部5设置有两个。两个保持部5在上空间3A中沿左右 方向X并排配置(参照图2)。各保持部5一体地包括:根部5A,从在后壁16自上侧Z1与分隔构件4邻接的部分大致水平地向前侧Y1延伸;中途部5B,从根部5A的前端向前上侧倾斜延伸;以及前端部5C,从中途部5B的前端向前上侧倾斜延伸。由于保持部5由线材构成为网眼状的筒体,因而保持部5整体形成为具有许多间隙5D的支架状。
喷射机构6包括:流路35、支承轴36、旋转构件37、延设部38、以及泵39。流路35具有从后侧Y2与上述清洗/排出用孔19E的下端部连接的一端部35A、和在一端部35A以及第二凹部19B各自的后侧Y2向上侧Z1延伸的另一端部35B,并在底壁19内从一端部35A向另一端部35B的下端大致水平地向后侧Y2延伸。支承轴36形成为沿上下方向Z延伸的圆管状。支承轴36的下端部36A在底壁19内配置在另一端部35B的正上方,支承轴36的比下端部36A偏向上侧Z1的部分直径比下端部36A更大,并从底壁19向上侧Z1突出,配置于下空间3B。在支承轴36的上端部,设置有沿水平方向突出的凸缘状的支承部36B。流路35的另一端部35B和支承轴36的下端部36A可以经由软管40连结,也可以直接连结。
旋转构件37形成为沿水平方向延伸的中空棒状,配置于下空间3B。在旋转构件37的长边方向的中央部37A,形成有从其下表面向下侧Z2突出的圆筒状的突出部37B。突出部37B从上侧Z1插通支承轴36的上端部,位于该上端部的支承部36B从下侧Z2与中央部37A对置。此外,在中央部37A的下表面以包围突出部37B的方式设置的环状的卡合部37D从下侧Z2与支承部36B卡合。该状态的旋转构件37由支承轴36以在上下方向Z上被定位的状态支承,能绕支承轴36,详细地说绕铅直延伸的旋转轴线J横向旋转。以下,将绕旋转轴线J的周向称为周向T,将以旋转轴线J为中心的径向称为径向R。径向R与旋转构件37的长边方向一致。径向R当中,将远离旋转轴线J侧称为径向外侧R1,将靠近旋转轴线J侧称为径向内侧R2。
延设部38形成为从旋转构件37的中央部37A朝向顶壁20的跟前向上侧Z1延伸的圆管状,延设部38的绝大部分配置于上空间3A。需要说明的是,上述分隔构件4避开延设部38地配置。延设部38的中心轴线与旋转构件37的旋转轴线J一致。延设部38的上端部38A穿过左右排列的保持部5之间,配置于各保持部5的前端部5C的上侧Z1。延设部38的内部虽处于从上侧Z1与旋转 构件37的内部连通的状态,但也处于由上端部38A的上端面从上侧Z1堵塞的状态。延设部38能与旋转构件37一体旋转。
泵39是内置旋转的叶轮(未图示)的离心泵等,设置在流路35的中途,详细地说,设置在流路35的朝向另一端部35B向上侧Z1弯折的部分。此外,上述排水路30的中途,详细地说排水口30A的跟前处向后侧Y2弯折的部分在该泵39内穿过避开流路35的部分。具体而言,泵39内置两个将水吸入并排出的内部流路39A,一个内部流路39A构成流路35的一部分,另一个内部流路39A构成排水路30的一部分。泵39能通过切换其动作,使水只流过两个内部流路39A中的一个,或者使水流过双方。
喷嘴7包括设置于旋转构件37的第一喷嘴7A和设置于延设部38的第二喷嘴7B。第一喷嘴7A存在多个并沿着旋转构件37的长边方向排列,在旋转构件37的上表面部的中央部37A的两侧,以隔着中央部37A呈对称的方式各配置相同数目(此处为各四个)。在旋转构件37的上表面部,以与喷嘴7相同的数目设置有向上侧Z1膨出的圆拱状的膨出部37C,各个第一喷嘴7A一一形成于各个膨出部37C,并处于与旋转构件37的内部连通的状态。需要说明的是,这些第一喷嘴7A当中,位于旋转构件37的长边方向的两端的一对第一喷嘴7C各自的至少一部分处于朝向周向T的一侧的状态。
第二喷嘴7B存在多个(此处为三个),配置于延设部38的上端部38A。对于上下方向Z以及周向T的至少一方而言,各个第二喷嘴7B的位置因每个第二喷嘴7B而异。此外,第二喷嘴7B的朝向因每个第二喷嘴7B而异。在延设部38的外周面,以与第二喷嘴7B相同的数目设置有向径向外侧R1膨出的圆拱状的膨出部38B,各个第二喷嘴7B一一形成于各膨出部38B,并处于与延设部38的内部连通的状态。
管道8在底壁19的前端部于底壁19内向上侧Z1延伸之后弯折并向前侧Y1延伸,再进一步弯折并于前壁15内向上侧Z1延伸。管道8的下端是从底壁19的前端部的下表面露出到装置外的吸气口8A,管道8的上端是在前壁15的后侧面从分隔构件4的上侧Z1的位置与上空间3A内连通的流出口8B。在吸气口8A,设置有与上述过滤构件24相同的过滤构件41。在前壁15的后侧面,隔开间隔地安装有从后侧Y2与流出口8B对置的板状的对置部42。
送风部9是通常所说的鼓风机,例如包括:电机45,在管道8内固定于底 壁19;和旋转叶片46,在管道8内配置于从上侧Z1面向吸气口8A的位置。电机45具有向下侧Z2突出的输出轴47。旋转叶片46设置有多个,以从输出轴47呈放射状扩展的方式固定于输出轴47的下端部。加热部10是由电热丝等构成的加热器,在下空间3B内配置于例如底壁19的第一凹部19A的底面19C上。
在壳体2,例如在前壁15内,设置有由微型计算机等构成的控制部50。控制部50通过布线(未图示)分别与操作部22、送风部9、加热部10、供水阀26以及泵39电连接。因此,控制部50能接收使用者对操作部22的操作,或控制送风部9、加热部10以及泵39的工作,或开闭供水阀26。
接着,对洗鞋装置1中执行的鞋S的清洗运转进行说明。清洗运转包括:洗涤过程,通过混有洗涤剂的清洗液对鞋S进行洗涤;漂洗过程,在洗涤过程之后对鞋S进行漂洗;以及脱水过程,在漂洗过程之后从鞋S中去除水分。
在开始清洗运转之前,使用者将盖部20B打开到开位置,将一双鞋S收纳于收纳室3的上空间3A。此时,使用者将各个保持部5的前端部5C从下侧Z2插通鞋S的鞋口SH之后,以朝向鞋尖ST侧的方式插入鞋S的内部空间SN。由此,在上空间3A内,一双鞋S沿着左右方向X排列,各个保持部5将鞋S以水平的横向姿势保持。横向姿势的鞋S处于鞋尖ST朝向前侧Y1、鞋底SZ朝向上侧Z1、覆盖脚背的鞋帮SU和鞋口SH朝向下侧Z2的状态。需要说明的是,横向姿势的鞋S可以处于鞋底SZ沿水平方向的水平状态,也可以如图1所示处于相对于水平方向稍微倾斜使得鞋尖ST比鞋跟SK偏向上侧Z1的大致水平状态。
在鞋S配置于上空间3A的状态下,配置于收纳室3的下空间3B的旋转构件37在收纳室3内配置于鞋S的下侧Z2。此外,将收纳室3上下分隔为上空间3A和下空间3B的分隔构件4在收纳室3内设置于鞋S与旋转构件37之间。如图1所示,对于处于前后方向Y为长边的状态的旋转构件37的上表面部而言,前端部与各鞋S的鞋尖ST在前后方向Y上大致处于相同的位置,后端部与各鞋S的鞋跟SK在前后方向Y上大致处于相同的位置。而且,设置于旋转构件37的上表面部的各个第一喷嘴7A处于从下侧Z2面向各鞋S的鞋尖ST、上部分SU、鞋口SH以及鞋跟SK所在的表面部分的状态。另一方面,延设部38穿过上空间3A内的左右的鞋S之间,延设部38的上端部38A位于这些鞋S的鞋底SZ的上侧Z1。设置于上端部38A的各第二喷嘴7B处于从上侧Z1面向各鞋 S的鞋底SZ的状态。
如上所述,将鞋S收纳于收纳室3的上空间3A的使用者在将盖部20B关闭到闭位置而闭紧收纳室3之后,通过操作操作部22,对洗鞋装置1发出开始清洗运转的指示。于是,控制部50开始洗涤过程,打开供水阀26。此时,控制部50通过停止泵39,维持至少排水路30被泵39切断的状态。这样,来自水龙头(未图示)的水,严格来说自来水通过供水路25从供水口25B向前侧Y1流出,并在此时通过与对置部27相撞而落下,通过分隔构件4的贯通孔4A存积于收纳室3的下空间3B。也就是说,在洗鞋装置1中,进行向下空间3B的供水,下空间3B作为水桶发挥作用。
当下空间3B的水面W达到低于旋转构件37的规定水位时,控制部50关闭供水阀26,停止供水。在供水前后的时段,洗涤剂被使用者投入收纳室3,或者在供水时,收容于与供水路25连接的洗涤剂收容室(未图示)的洗涤剂混入自来水。由此,在下空间3B,存积有由洗涤剂溶于自来水而生成的清洗液。在供水停止之后,下空间3B内的清洗液的一部分处于分别在排水路30以及流路35中散布至泵39与清洗/排出用孔19E之间的上游侧区域的状态。需要说明的是,在壳体2的前壁15,由于在排气口23配置有过滤构件24,对置部42与管道8的流出口8B对置配置,因而能防止在收纳室3内飞溅的自来水、清洗液从排气口23漏到装置外或从流出口8B进入管道8内。
接着,为了开始用清洗液清洗鞋S,控制部50维持排水路30被泵39继续切断的状态,同时以流路35的清洗液能通过泵39的方式驱动泵39。通过像这这样发挥用于清洗的作用的泵39,下空间3B的清洗液流过流路35并在支承轴36内上升,散布至旋转构件37内。这样,清洗液从在旋转构件37中排成一列的多个第一喷嘴7A当中的位于旋转构件37的长边方向的两端的各个第一喷嘴7C朝向周向T的一侧喷射(参照图2的粗线箭头)。由此,旋转构件37由于受到周向T的推力,因而随着延设部38绕旋转轴线J进行旋转。此时,由于保持鞋S的左右的保持部5在左右方向X上与延设部38隔开大致相等间隔地配置,因而各鞋S以不与旋转中的延设部38接触的程度远离延设部38地配置(参照图2)。
旋转中的旋转构件37内的清洗液如用粗点划线箭头所示,从旋转构件37的各个第一喷嘴7A朝向上空间3A内的各个鞋S的表面部分从下侧Z2喷射(也 参照图3)。此外,旋转构件37内的清洗液在旋转的延设部38内上升,如用粗双点划线箭头所示,从延设部38的上端部38A的各个第二喷嘴7B向各个鞋S的鞋底SZ从上侧Z1喷射(也参照图3)。需要说明的是,从各个喷嘴7喷射的清洗液(参照粗点划线以及双点划线箭头)实际上一边扩散一边接近鞋S。
被喷射了清洗液的鞋S通过高压喷射的冲力来去除泥等污垢或通过清洗液将污垢化学分解,由此被清洗。特别是,从旋转中的旋转构件37的各个第一喷嘴7A喷射的清洗液全方位地分别泼洒到构成横向姿势的各个鞋S的外侧的表面部分的所以部位也就是鞋尖ST、鞋帮部分SU、鞋口SH以及鞋跟SK。由此,因此,即使是表面部分的形状各异的鞋S,不用说鞋S的表面部分的整个区域,通过从鞋口SH进入内部空间SN内的清洗液,内部空间SN也就是鞋S的内部的整个区域也能得到清洗。此外,从各个第一喷嘴7A喷射之后与作为收纳室3的顶部的顶壁20相撞而落下的清洗液去向包括鞋底SZ也就是鞋S的背侧。进而,位于延设部38的上端部38A的各个第二喷嘴7B通过与延设部38一体旋转,能将清洗液从上侧Z1喷射至各个鞋S的鞋底SZ的大范围。通过这些清洗液,能有效地清洗鞋底SZ的整个区域。如上,即使不用刷子等摩擦鞋S,通过从喷嘴喷射的高压的清洗液,也能维持与用刷子等摩擦鞋S的情况同等的清洗力,并且能以不产生损伤的方式全方位地对鞋S的内外的整体进行清洗。
需要说明的是,由于插入鞋S的内部空间SN的保持部5是具有许多间隙5D的支架状,因而从各个第一喷嘴7A喷向鞋口SH的清洗液能通过保持部5无障碍地流动,从鞋口SH顺利地流入内部空间SN内,并能在流入之后从鞋口SH顺利地流出到鞋S之外。进而,由于横向姿势的鞋S处于以鞋尖ST比鞋跟SK偏向上侧Z1的方式稍微倾斜的大致水平状态,因而能使内部空间SN内的清洗液更加顺利地从鞋口SH流向鞋S之外。
此外,如上所述,位于延设部38的各个第二喷嘴7B的位置因每个第二喷嘴7B而异。进而,由于位于延设部38的各个第二喷嘴7B的朝向因每个第二喷嘴7B而异,因此各个第二喷嘴7B的相对于水平方向的清洗液的喷射角度α也因每个第二喷嘴7B而异。由于如上所述第二喷嘴7B的位置以及清洗液的喷射角度α因每个第二喷嘴7B而异,因而即使是形状、大小不同的鞋底SZ,也能通过旋转的多个第二喷嘴7B将从各个方向喷射出的清洗液全方位地泼洒到整个鞋底SZ。因此,即使是形状、大小不同的鞋底SZ也能有效地得到清洗。需要 说明的是,只要能通过多个第二喷嘴7B从各个方向朝向鞋底SZ喷射清洗液,也可以是只有位置以及喷射角度α的某一方因每个第二喷嘴7B而异。
此外,清洗液所使用的洗涤剂优选为以通常的一半以下的10质量%以下的比例含有作为肥皂成分的表面活性剂的低发泡洗涤剂。在这种情况下,能抑制清洗液起泡,防止因清洗液的泡沫而导致各个喷嘴7堵塞,能防止因泡沫的反作用力而导致喷嘴旋转受阻和停止。由此,由于能从各个喷嘴7持续喷射清洗液,因而能通过清洗液可靠地清洗鞋S。此外,当使用低发泡洗涤剂时,能抑制洗涤过程中清洗液的泡沫使旋转构件37的旋转受阻而导致清洗力降低、因漂洗过程中泡沫残留而导致漂洗性能降低。需要说明的是,并不局限于洗鞋装置1,在用刷子等擦洗鞋S的其它结构的洗鞋装置中,也能得到通过使用低发泡洗涤剂从而能抑制清洗力以及漂洗性能降低的优点。
此外,在洗涤过程中,控制部50也可以接通加热部10来加热下空间3B的清洗液。这种情况下,能通过从各个喷嘴7泼洒到鞋S上的温热清洗液来提高清洗力,因而能更有效地清洗鞋S。
此外,由于分隔构件4在收纳室3内设于鞋S与旋转构件37之间,因而能防止因从保持部5意外掉落的鞋S、该鞋S的鞋带(未图示)等与旋转构件37接触而使旋转构件37的旋转、清洗液从各个喷嘴7的喷射受到阻碍。此外,由于分隔构件4为格子状,因而从各个喷嘴7喷射的清洗液能穿过作为分隔构件4的格孔的各贯通孔4A从而能可靠地到达鞋S。因此,即使存在分隔构件4,也能通过从各个喷嘴7喷射的清洗液来可靠地清洗鞋S。
在洗涤过程中,从各个喷嘴7喷射到上空间3A内的鞋S之后从鞋S洒落的清洗液、从各个喷嘴7向上空间3A内喷射但是未触及鞋S的清洗液穿过分隔构件4的各个贯通孔4A下落到下空间3B内,回收至下空间3B。在洗涤过程中,由于泵39持续被驱动,因而回收至下空间3B的清洗液从清洗/排出用孔19E流过流路35并从旋转构件37以及延设部38的各个喷嘴7向上空间3A内喷射。由此,清洗液在上空间3A与下空间3B之间循环。因此,即使是少量的清洗液,也能通过循环反复使用来清洗鞋S。此外,由于通过喷射液的喷射而从鞋S上去除的小石头等异物被下空间3B内的清洗/排出用孔19E处的过滤构件29捕获,因而能防止该异物与清洗液一起循环而堵塞喷嘴7这样的不良情况。
在清洗液的循环持续了规定时间之后,控制部50以排水路30的清洗液能 通过泵39的方式切换泵39的动作。由此,即使下空间3B内的清洗液的水位低,通过发挥排水作用的泵39,下空间3B的清洗液也会通过排水路30被强制地排出到装置外。然后,控制部50使泵39停止。由此,洗涤过程结束。
当洗涤过程结束时,控制部50开始漂洗过程,再次执行供水,将自来水存积在下空间3B。当下空间3B内的水面W通过供水达到低于旋转构件37的规定水位时,控制部50通过驱动泵39,使自来水作为漂洗水在上空间3A与下空间3B之间循环,并从旋转构件37以及延设部38的各个喷嘴7向上空间3A内的鞋S高压喷射漂洗水。这样,收纳室3内的鞋S通过漂洗水被漂洗。此时,控制部50也可以使加热部10工作而加热下空间3B的漂洗水。此时,通过将来自各个喷嘴7的温热的漂洗水泼洒到鞋S上,能有效地漂洗鞋S。
在这样的漂洗水的循环持续了规定时间之后,控制部50以排水路30的水能通过泵39的方式切换泵39的动作。由此,下空间3B的漂洗水通过排水路30被排出到装置外。然后,控制部50停止泵39。由此,漂洗过程结束。
清洗过程之后,控制部50通过驱动送风部9使旋转叶片46旋转,从而开始脱水过程。由此,装置外的空气从壳体2的底壁19的吸气口8A吸入管道8内。吸入管道8内的空气通过旋转叶片46的旋转而朝向流出口8B,从流出口8B送入收纳室3内。
送入收纳室3内的空气在被旋转叶片46加压的高压状态下被喷到上空间3A内的各个鞋S的外表面或从鞋口SH流入鞋S的内部空间SN,从而使清洗液等水分从鞋S渗出。渗出的水分从鞋S洒落。因此,通过使来自管道8的空气喷向各个鞋S,能有效地将清洗后的鞋S脱液。送入收纳室3内的空气最终从壳体2的前壁15的排气口23排出到装置外。此时,空气中所含的灰尘等异物被位于排气口23的过滤构件24捕获。需要说明的是,在脱水过程中,控制部50也可以使加热部10工作而使收纳室3内产生热风。这种情况下,通过热风能更加有效地将鞋S脱液。
当旋转叶片46开始旋转之后经过了规定时间时,控制板50使送风部9停止,结束脱水过程。由此,清洗运转结束。需要说明的是,控制部50也可以在脱水过程的最后驱动泵39,并在脱水过程时将从鞋S洒落的水分排出到装置外。在清洗运转结束后,使用者打开盖部20B,将清洗后的鞋S从收纳室3取出。
如上所述,在本洗鞋装置1中,首先,将鞋S收纳于收纳室3并保持于保 持部5,然后,即使不使鞋S在收纳室3内移动,也能实施一系列的清洗运转。此外,在洗鞋装置1中,由于通过保持部5将收纳室3内的鞋S以横向姿势保持,因而与鞋S被以纵向的姿势保持的情况相比,能将收纳室3的高度尺寸抑制地较小,因而能实现洗鞋装置1整体的小型化。进而,旋转构件37以及延设部38的各个喷嘴7由于能随着旋转而向大范围喷射清洗液、漂洗水,因而即使在靠近鞋S的状态下,也能将清洗液全方位地泼洒到鞋S整体。因此,由于通过使各个喷嘴7靠近鞋S地配置,能将收纳室3抑制地较小,因而能实现洗鞋装置1整体的进一步小型化。此外,由于在洗涤过程、漂洗过程中使清洗液、漂洗水始终循环于上空间3A与下空间3B之间的情况下,能将下空间3B的用于存积清洗液、漂洗水的容量抑制地较小,因而,从这一点也能实现洗鞋装置1整体的小型化。但是,在洗涤过程中使清洗液一边循环一边向鞋S喷射的情况下,泼洒到鞋S的清洗液的泡沫数量随着洗涤时间的流逝而增多,从而喷射的清洗液的强度可能会降低,因此,洗鞋装置1通过如下方式能抑制清洗时因泡沫而导致清洗力降低:通过加热部10来加热清洗液而发挥洗涤剂的清洗效果,或者将清洗液用的洗涤剂的表面活性剂的比例设定为10质量%以下。
本发明并不局限于以上所说明的实施方式,可以在权利要求记载的范围内进行各种变更。
图4是第一变形例的洗鞋装置1的示意性的纵剖右视图。在图4中,对与图1~图3中说明过的部分相同的部分赋予相同的附图标记,并省略对该部分的说明(后述的图5~图11中也同样)。上述泵39通过具有两个内部流路39A从而兼用作清洗和排水(参照图1)。但是,像第一变形例那样,泵39既可以通过只具有一个构成清洗用的流路35的一部分的内部流路39A从而发挥清洗专用的功能,也可以在排水路30的中途另外设置排水专用的泵60。在第一变形例中,在清洗液、漂洗水的循环过程中,通过泵60来主动排出沉淀在清洗/排出用孔19E的下部的泥水,因而能抑制清洗用的泵39因吸入泥水而损坏。第一变形例并不局限于上述实施方式,也能用于以下的其它的变形例。
图5是第二变形例的洗鞋装置1的示意性的纵剖右视图。图6是图5的C-C向视剖视图。在第二变形例的洗鞋装置1中,喷射机构6包括分支路70来代替延设部38。分支路70包括:根部分70A,从支承轴36的露出到下空间3B的部分向后侧Y2延伸;纵部分70B,从根部分70A的后端部向上侧Z1延伸;横部 分70C,从纵部分70B的上端部向左右方向X的两外侧延伸;以及左右一对延设部70D,从左右方向X的横部分70C的两端部分别一一向前侧Y1延伸。整个分支路70的位置处于被固定于收纳室3内的状态。左右一对延设部70D当中,左侧X1的延设部70D位于左侧X1的保持部5的正上方,右侧X2的延设部70D位于右侧X2的保持部5的正上方(参照图6)。
在各个延设部70D,例如三个第二喷嘴7B沿着前后方向Y排列设置并面向下侧Z2设置。在左侧X1的保持部5将鞋S以横向姿势保持的状态下,左侧X1的延设部70D的三个第二喷嘴7B从上侧Z1面向该鞋S的鞋底SZ(参照图6)。在右侧X2的保持部5将鞋S以横向姿势保持的状态下,右侧X2的延设部70D的三个第二喷嘴7B从上侧Z1面向该鞋S的鞋底SZ(参照图6)。优选各个延设部70D的三个第二喷嘴7B当中,位于前端的第二喷嘴7B位于鞋S的前端部的正上方,位于后端的其它的第二喷嘴7B位于鞋S的后端部的正上方。当泵39随着洗涤过程开始而被驱动时,从下空间3B经由流路35在支承轴36内上升的清洗液的一部分向分支路70分支并到达各个延设部70D,如粗双点划线箭头所示,从各个延设部70D的各个第二喷嘴7B向上空间3A内的鞋S的鞋底SZ从上侧Z1喷射。也就是说,分支路70将在支承轴36内上升的清洗液的一部分向鞋底SZ侧旁通。
图7是第三变形例的洗鞋装置1的示意性的纵剖右视图。图8是图7的D-D向视剖视图。在第三变形例的洗鞋装置1中,在顶壁20的下表面部,在上空间3A内的各个鞋S的鞋底SZ的正上方的区域,设置有向下侧Z2突出并且沿着前后方向Y延伸的肋状的引导部75。引导部75在各个鞋S的鞋底SZ的正上方各自设置例如三个并左右并排地平行配置(参照图8)。优选各个引导部75的前端部位于鞋S的鞋尖ST的大致正上方,各引导部75的后端部位于鞋S的鞋跟SK的大致正上方。在洗涤过程中从各个喷嘴7喷射并到达顶壁20的清洗液的折返水在顶壁20的下表面部平坦的情况下,可能会顺着顶壁20的下表面部向前后左右散开而不下落到鞋底SZ。但是,通过设置引导部75,折返水以在各个鞋S的鞋底SZ的正上方下落的方式被各引导部75引导。由此,能将折返水集中地泼洒到鞋底SZ而有效地清洗鞋底SZ。在漂洗过程中,能通过各个引导部75来将漂洗水的折返水集中泼洒到鞋底SZ从而有效地漂洗鞋底SZ。第三变形例也能用于上述实施方式、其它变形例。
此外,在上述的实施方式、第一~第三实施例中,为了使来自喷嘴7的清洗液、漂洗水被泼洒到鞋S的目标位置,也可以改变旋转构件37以及延设部38各自的喷嘴7的孔形。例如,在形成于旋转构件37的第一喷嘴7A的情况下,第一喷嘴7A的孔形可以沿正交于旋转构件37的长边方向的方向呈长边椭圆形(参照图9以及图10),也可以沿倾斜于旋转构件37的长边方向的方向呈长孔(参照图11)。此外,第一喷嘴7A的孔形也可以因每个第一喷嘴7A而异。
此外,洗鞋装置1虽然在上述的实施方式、各变形例中作为单独的装置存在,但是也可以沿前后方向Y可拉出地设置在洗衣机等洗衣房设备。这种情况下,在洗鞋装置1中,也可以使供水路25与洗衣房设备的供水路连接,并使排水路30与洗衣房设备的排水路连接。此外,洗鞋装置1的控制部50也可以通过接受来自洗衣房设备的控制部的指令来执行清洗运转。需要说明的是,在假定洗鞋装置1配置于洗衣房设备的下部、上部的情况下,由于上述的洗鞋装置1紧凑地构成,因而能将洗衣房设备的高度尺寸抑制地较小。
此外,管道8、下空间3B、排水路30、流路35等的形状、大小以及布局能任意变更。此外,送风部9、加热部10的位置也能变更。此外,排水路30、流路35也可以不形成在底壁19内,而作为由软管等构成的独立的部件存在。这种情况下的排水路30、流路35在底壁19内预先形成的空洞(未图示)内以自由的布局配置。
此外,用于产生使旋转构件37旋转的推力的第一喷嘴7C可以不只是位于旋转构件37的长边方向的两端的第一喷嘴7A,也可以是其它的第一喷嘴7A。
此外,也可以在排水路30的中途设置由控制部50控制开闭并在排水时打开的排水阀(未图示)。
