SHOE CARE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240122442 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 circulating air to clean and dry shoes.
- 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 the condenser
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in shoe care facilities, shoe stores, or even at home for efficient shoe cleaning and drying.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently cleaning and drying shoes by providing a controlled airflow system that passes through a heat pump device.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include faster and more effective shoe cleaning and drying, as well as the ability to maintain the quality and shape of the shoes.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercialized as a shoe care machine for shoe stores, shoe repair shops, or even as a home appliance for personal use.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional shoe dryers that use heat to dry shoes, but they may not have the same efficiency and control over the airflow as the disclosed apparatus.
Unanswered Questions
How does the heat pump device improve the shoe cleaning and drying process?
The heat pump device helps to regulate the temperature and humidity of the air circulating through the care room, which can result in faster and more effective cleaning and drying of the shoes.
What is the expected maintenance required for this shoe care apparatus?
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the filters, evaporator, and condenser may be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the apparatus over time.
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.
