SHOE CARE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18534213 titled 'SHOE CARE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a shoe care apparatus with a heat pump device for shoe maintenance.
- Main body with care room for shoes
- Machine room with heat pump device (evaporator and condenser)
- Circulation flow path for air to pass through evaporator and condenser
- First blower fan to circulate air from care room to machine room and back
- Second blower fan in machine room to pass air through condenser
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in shoe care centers, shoe repair shops, and even in homes for personal shoe maintenance.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently drying and deodorizing shoes, as well as providing a convenient way to maintain shoe hygiene.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved shoe hygiene, extended shoe lifespan, and convenience in shoe maintenance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology include shoe care services, shoe manufacturing facilities, and retail stores selling shoe care products.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be shoe dryers with basic heating elements and fans, which may not provide the same level of efficiency and effectiveness as the disclosed apparatus.
Unanswered Questions
How does the heat pump device affect the energy consumption of the apparatus?
The energy consumption of the apparatus is not addressed in the abstract. It would be important to know if the heat pump device increases energy efficiency or if it requires more power to operate.
Are there any safety features included in the apparatus to prevent overheating or other potential hazards?
Safety features are not mentioned in the abstract. It would be crucial to understand if there are any safety measures in place to protect users and the apparatus itself from potential risks.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a shoe care apparatus including: a main body, a care room provided in the main body configured to accommodate shoes, a machine room provided in the main body configured to accommodate a heat pump device including an evaporator and a condenser, a circulation flow path configured to communicate with the care room so that air discharged from the care room passes through the evaporator and the condenser and is supplied to the care room, a first blower fan disposed on the circulation flow path configured to blow air in the circulation flow path in a first direction so that the air in the circulation flow path passes through the machine room from the care room and circulates back to the care room, and a second blower fan disposed in the machine room configured to blow air in the machine room in a second direction so that the air in the machine room passes through the condenser.
