SHOE CARE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18545867 titled 'SHOE CARE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The shoe care apparatus described in the patent application is a device that can accommodate a shoe, supply air to the chamber, heat the air, spray the air onto the shoe, detect the shoe in the chamber, and control the air supply based on the detection signal.
- Chamber to accommodate a shoe
- Fan to supply air to the chamber
- Heat pump device with a condenser to heat the air
- Compressor to discharge refrigerant to the condenser
- Holder with a nozzle to spray the air
- Damper to adjust the supply of sprayed air
- Detection sensor to detect the shoe in the chamber
- Controller to control the damper based on the detection signal
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in shoe care products, shoe cleaning services, and shoe maintenance equipment.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently drying and cleaning shoes by providing a controlled environment with heated and sprayed air.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include faster shoe drying, effective shoe cleaning, and convenience for users who want to maintain their shoes in good condition.
Potential Commercial Applications
The shoe care apparatus can be used in shoe stores, shoe repair shops, and homes for personal shoe care.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be shoe dryers or shoe cleaning machines that use air to dry or clean shoes, but the specific combination of features in this patent application may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
How does the detection sensor identify the shoe in the chamber?
The detection sensor may use infrared technology, weight sensors, or other methods to detect the presence of a shoe.
What materials are used in the construction of the apparatus?
The materials used may include plastic, metal, rubber, and electronic components to ensure durability and functionality of the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shoe care apparatus includes: a chamber configured to accommodate a shoe; a fan configured to supply air to the chamber; a heat pump device comprising a condenser configured to heat the air and a compressor configured to discharge a refrigerant to the condenser; at least one holder in the chamber and comprising a nozzle configured to spray the air; at least one damper on a side of the chamber, the at least one damper corresponding to the at least one holder so as to adjust supply of the sprayed air; at least one detection sensor in the chamber, the at least one detection sensor being configured to detect the shoe accommodated in the chamber; and a controller configured to control the at least one damper based on a detection signal received from the at least one detection sensor.
