Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a shoe dryer for drying shoes.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, as a shoe dryer of this kind, one provided with an intake port for air to be blown inside the shoe on the upper surface of the main body is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication Sho 56-170.
No. 07 publication. However, with this configuration, dust and the like enter the main body from the intake port when not in use, and adversely affect electric parts in the main body, and the dust and the like are blown into the shoe when it is dry, so that the inside of the shoe becomes dirty. There was a flaw.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a shoe dryer in which dust or the like does not enter the main body through the intake port when not in use. To do.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention comprises a main body having a built-in blower fan, and a blower unit for blowing the blower fan's blown air into a shoe. With the frame part installed,
It consists of a blower pipe slidably inserted into the cylinder,
The frame part is supported by the main body so that it can be tilted up and down, and the blower pipe is formed so that it can be inserted into the shoe when the frame part is upright. It is characterized in that an air intake port of a blower fan is formed at a position to be covered.

(E) Action When drying the shoe, the blower unit is swung in the direction away from the main body, the shoe is inserted into the tip of the blower pipe of the blower unit, the blower fan is driven, and the inside of the shoe is dried.

When not in use, when the blower unit is swung to the inclining state, the intake port is covered by the side surface of the blower unit to prevent dust and the like from entering the main body through the intake port.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

(1) is the main body, the aluminum die cast base (2) and the base
(2) a bottom plate (3) that covers the bottom surface, and a synthetic resin cover (5) that covers a drive motor (22) described below that is fixed to the base (2) and the rising wall (4) of the base. It consists of Said cover (5)
A bulge (6) is provided in the upper part to cover the upper part of the brush (24) described later, and this bulge (6) prevents dust and dust from scattering from the brush (24) toward the user. It is like this.

(7) is a partition plate in the space surrounded by the bottom plate (3) and the base (2)
The air passage defined by (8), opening rearward (9)
is doing. (10) is provided in the lower rear surface of the cover (5),
A duct communicating with the air passage (7), the upper part of which is an arc wall (10a)
Is formed.

A blower motor (11) is fixed to the lower surface of the base (2), and a blower fan (13) is attached to an output shaft (12) extending in the blower passage (7).

(14) is a blower unit that can be retracted into and stored in a storage chamber (15) formed in the rear part of the main body (1), and is attached to a shaft (17) fixed to a pivot piece (16) of the base (2). A pair of left and right cylinders that are swingably supported
It is composed of a frame portion (19) projecting from (18) and a pair of blower pipes (21) described later. (20) is a sliding contact portion formed on the frame portion (19), which is an arc wall of the duct (10).
It is supposed to be in sliding contact with (10a). The blower unit
When swinging and pulling backward from the storage chamber (15), the sliding contact portion (20) rides over the protrusion (10b) formed on the arc wall (10a) and swings out from the sliding contact portion (20). ) Of the sliding contact portion (20) when the blower unit (14) is stored in the storage chamber (15) while the end portion of the () is kept in contact with the protrusion (10b) and pulled out rearward. The end portion abuts on the protrusion (10b) to prevent it from inadvertently swinging backward.

Reference numeral (21) is a pair of synthetic resin blower pipes that are respectively removably inserted into the pair of cylindrical bodies (18) of the frame portion (19), and are held in a state in which they are pulled out by a predetermined amount, and the upper portion is inside the shoe. The blower pipe (21) is inserted so that the blower pipe (21) is held in a pulled-out state with a holding force that does not slide with the weight of the shoe alone.

(22) is a drive motor fixed to the rising wall (4) projecting upward from the base (2), and the drive shaft (23) penetrates the cover (5) and projects forward. .

Reference numeral (24) is a brush attached to the drive shaft (23), which has long bristles and is used to plant soft bristles.

(25) is a metal pipe whose lower part is fixed to the base (2) and whose upper part penetrates the cover (5) and projects upward from the rear part of the main body (1). 26) The push button (26) is connected to an operating rod (27) provided in the metal pipe (25) so as to be movable up and down, and the operating rod (27) is moved downward by pressing the push button (26). The control switch (28) of the drive motor (22) which is moved and fixed to the base (2) is operated.

(29) is a blower motor (11) provided in the upper part of the main body (1)
Timer switch for operation, (30) is the storage room of the main body (1)
The plurality of intake ports formed in (15) are configured to supply the air sucked from the intake port (30) to the air passage (7).

Then, the push button (26) is operated to close the control switch (28), and the drive motor (22) is driven to rotate the brush (24). With the shoe on, put the weight on the metal pipe (25) and bring the shoe into contact with the lower part of the brush (24) to brush the upper and both sides of the shoe.

When the shoe is dried, the blower unit (14) is swung backward as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the blower pipe (21) is held in a pulled-out state by a predetermined amount. The shoe is hooked on the upper part of the blower pipe (21) and the timer switch (29) is operated to drive the blower motor (11) to rotate the blower fan (13). The air sucked from the intake port (30) by the rotation of the blower fan (13) is blown into the shoe from the blower unit (14) through the blower passage (7) and the duct (10) to dry the inside of the shoe.

Since the intake port (30) is provided in the storage chamber (15), it is covered by the blower unit (14) when the shoes are not dried,
No dirt or dust will enter the main body (1) through the intake port (30).

Further, since the blower unit (14) is stored in the storage chamber (15) and the opening of the blower pipe (21) is covered by the main body (1),
No dust or dirt will enter the air blower unit (14).

(G) Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering the main body through the intake port with a simple structure when not in use.
In addition, the appearance can be improved by covering the intake port.
