SHOE CARE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18241711 titled 'SHOE CARE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The shoe care apparatus described in the patent application includes a chamber with an air inlet and outlet, as well as various components such as evaporator, condenser, ducts, fans, compressor, temperature sensor, and processor. The processor controls the operation of the second fan based on the outside air temperature and the compressor's operation state.
- The shoe care apparatus is designed to provide effective shoe care by circulating air through the chamber, ducts, and holder.
- The evaporator and condenser help in cooling and conditioning the air.
- The compressor discharges a refrigerant to the condenser, aiding in the cooling process.
- The second fan inside the machine room ensures proper airflow within the apparatus.
- The temperature sensor measures the outside air temperature, which is used by the processor to control the second fan's operation.
Potential Applications
- Shoe care and maintenance: The apparatus can be used to effectively dry and deodorize shoes, keeping them in good condition.
- Footwear industry: Manufacturers or retailers can utilize this technology to provide additional shoe care services to customers.
Problems Solved
- Moisture and odor control: The apparatus helps in drying out shoes and eliminating unpleasant odors.
- Convenience: Users can easily place their shoes in the holder and let the apparatus take care of the rest, saving time and effort.
Benefits
- Efficient shoe care: The combination of various components ensures effective drying and deodorizing of shoes.
- Customizable airflow: The processor adjusts the second fan's operation based on the outside air temperature and compressor's state, optimizing the shoe care process.
- User-friendly: The apparatus is designed to be easy to use, requiring minimal input from the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shoe care apparatus includes: a chamber including an air inlet and an air outlet; a first duct connected to the air outlet; an evaporator inside the first duct; a condenser inside the first duct; a second duct connecting the first duct to the air inlet; a holder in the chamber and connected to the air inlet; a first fan that circulate airs through the first duct, the second duct, the holder, and the chamber; a compressor inside a machine room of the shoe care apparatus, the compressor that discharges a refrigerant to the condenser; a second fan inside the machine room and that allows air in the machine room to flow; a temperature sensor that measures an outside air temperature; and a processor, wherein the processor controls an operation of the second fan based on the outside air temperature and an operation state of the compressor.
