The present invention relates to a shoe care device, and more particularly, to a shoe care device that manages and displays an article stored therein.
Only when shoes should be properly kept, the shoes can be worn for a long time without breaking the shape of the shoes. When the shoes are stacked in layers, the shape can be deformed. In general, a shoes cabinet is used for organization and keeping of the shoes.
In recent years, people who collect shoes of popular brands as part of hobby or financial tech have appeared, and a show case has been disclosed which is configured to keep and display the shoes.
US Patent Publication No. 2018-0127150 (hereinafter, referred to as ‘Prior Art Document 1’), entitled, “Modular storage container”, discloses a modular storage container including a housing, a door panel, a fan, and a light source.
According to Prior Art Document 1 above, the housing has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape having an opening on a front surface thereof. The housing has an accommodation space therein. The door panel opens/closes the opening of the housing, and is configured to be transparent or translucent.
In Prior Art Document 1 above, the fan is installed on a rear panel of the housing. When the fan rotates, air in the accommodation space is ventilated to outside air. An air duct is formed in the housing for an air flow between the outside air and the accommodation space. The light source is installed in an upper panel and illuminates the accommodation space.
According to Prior Art Document 1 above, since internal air of the container is configured to be ventilated to the outside air, a possibility that an internal environment (temperature and humidity) of the container will be influenced by an external environment (temperature and humidity) of the container increases. That is, it may be difficult to control the internal temperature and humidity of the container.
For example, according to Prior Art Document 1 above, since the internal air of the container is just ventilated to the outside air, the humidity of the accommodation space can be continuously maintained when the humidity of the outside air is high like the rainy season. The air may change a color and a shape of the shoe stored in the container, and act to cause the shoe to be contaminated by mold and bacteria which are easy to breed at high temperature and humidity.
As such, in that Prior Art Document 1 above does not consider a technology of maintaining the internal temperature and humidity of the container in an optimal state, there is a risk of deformation or contamination of the shoe in the process of using the container by a user.
Further, according to Prior Art Document 1 above, the inside of the container can be viewed only through a door panel, and the inside of the container cannot be viewed at a left side or a right side of the container, so there is a limit in increasing a display effect of the shoe.
In relation to a technology of displaying the shoes for a commercial purpose, Korean Patent Unexamined Publication No. 2013-0034367(hereinafter, referred to as ‘Prior Art Document 2’) discloses a show case having transmissive display, and the resulting case is configured to include a show case body, a transparent display means, a turntable, a touch panel, and an LED.
The show case body has a space capable of storing products such as the shores therein. The transparent display means is installed on a front surface of the showcase body. The products are seated on the turntable, and rotate inside the show case body by the rotation of the turntable. The LED illuminates the products inside the show case body.
However, in that Prior Art Document 2 above does not consider a technology of controlling the internal temperature and humidity of the show case, there is a risk of deformation or contamination of the shoe in a state in which the shoe is stored inside the show case.
Further, according to Prior Art Document 2 above, the inside of the show case can be viewed only through the transparent display means, and the inside of the show case cannot be viewed at the left side or the right side of the show case, so there is a limit in increasing the display effect of the shoe.
Korean Patent Unexamined Publication No. 10-2000-0009653 (hereinafter, referred to as ‘Prior Art Document 3’) discloses a shoes cabinet for the sanitization, and the resulting shoes cabinet is configured to include a body, an infrared radiation unit, a circulation fan, an air circulation passage, a sanitization filter unit, etc.
Prior Art Document 3 above discloses that the shoes are dehumidified, sanitized, and deodorized by far infrared rays and filters while storing the shoes.
However, according to Prior Art Document 3 above, the shoes cannot be displayed.
As described above, conventional devices that accommodate the shoes therein have a limit in the care of the shoes and the display of the shoes.
As a result, in the development of a shoe care device, considering whether the display effect of the shoes can be maximized while constantly maintaining an environment of an internal space (hereinafter, referred to as ‘accommodation space’) of the shoe care device, whether the accommodation space can be easily opened and closed, whether the shoes can be effectively stored and withdrawn in a state in which the accommodation space is opened, whether structural stability of the shoe care device can be ensured in a state in which the accommodation space is maximally opened, etc., is required.
Moreover, it should be considered whether structural rigidity of a lowest shoe care device can be maintained for a long period even though the shoe care devices are stacked in multiple layers, whether electrical stability can be effectively guaranteed even though the shoe care device is used for a long period, whether an interior effect by the shoe care device can be maximized in addition to the display effect of the shoe, whether internal components are appropriately arranged in a limited space, whether use convenience is excellent, etc., should also be considered, and the development of the shoe care device considering all of the points is required.
An object of the present invention is to provide the problems of the shoe care device accommodating shoes therein.

Effects of the shoe care device according to the present invention will be described below.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the shoes are displayed by switching to a closed state after accommodating the shoes in an accommodation space in which both a body and a moving body are formed, and at the same time, a state of the accommodation space is adjusted by circulating air in the accommodation space through a blowing part, a shoe display effect and a shoe care effect can be effectively implemented at the same time.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, in the display device according to the exemplary embodiment, since the accommodation space is opened and closed while the moving body slidably coupled to the body moves between the first location and the second location, the shoe may be effectively stored and withdrawn.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since a frame body is coupled to the body in a shape of connecting an upper surface, a lower surface, and a rear surface of the body to support the body, the shoe care device can maintain a stable state by reinforcing a structurally vulnerable part in the body.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since a state of the accommodation space is adjusted by heating the air in the accommodation space through a heating part, the shoes can be more effectively cared by appropriately maintaining an environment of the accommodation space.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the body includes the upper body, the lower body, and the middle body, and the moving body is configured to include the base and the transparent window, a connection structure of the body and the moving body can be stably maintained in a sliding movement process of the moving body with respect to the body.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body is configured to include an upper frame, a lower frame, and a middle frame, the vulnerable part of the body can be reinforced in the structure of connecting the upper body, the lower body, and the middle body.
In this case, in that the frame body is concentratedly placed on a rear surface of the body to support the body, an overall center of gravity can move backward by the frame body, so stress can be prevented from being concentrated on a front surface portion of the upper body of the shoe care device positioned below even though the plurality of shoe care devices are stacked on each other.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body including the upper frame, the lower frame, and the middle frame may be formed by bending one member which is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction, the frame body can be easily manufactured, and the cutting surface of the frame body corresponding to the reinforcing member can be minimized.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body may be formed in a form of cutting a part of a flange in C channel steel, and bending a part of a web, the rigidity of the one C-channel steel frame body can be more largely formed.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body may be formed in a structure in which the lower frame, and the middle frame, a fastening member is fastened to a flange portion overlapped after bending the web, the bent portion of the C channel steel can be prevented from being structurally vulnerable.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body may be formed in a structure in which the lower frame, and the middle frame, the flange portion overlapped after bending the web is coupled by welding, the bent portion of the C channel steel can be prevented from being structurally vulnerable.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, Since the frame body is placed not to be exposed to the outside, the aesthetics can be visually provided by minimizing the exposure of a member not directly related to the function of the shoe care device.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since a plurality of frame bodies may be placed to reinforce the body in a horizontal direction of the body, the structural reinforcing for the body may be uniformly and stably achieved.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the turntable is placed on the bottom of the accommodation space and rotates around the vertical axis, the shoe may be rotated and displayed, and the air flow is made in various directions of the shoe, thereby achieving the uniform care throughout the shoe.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since a rotational axis of the turntable may be positioned at the front more than a front end portion of the body in the opened state, opening enough to store and withdrawn the shoe can be achieved while maintaining the stable state in the opening process of the accommodation space.
Further, according to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since a stopping part may limit sliding movement of the moving body to the body not to exceed the second location, the separation of the body and the moving body or occurrence of reversal depending on a change in center of gravity can be prevented when the moving body excessively moves for the opened state.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body may be manufactured by an ALDC material in an integrated structure formed by die casting, each of the upper frame, the lower frame, and the middle frame may have a cross-sectional shape without a hollow. Therefore, each of the upper frame, the lower frame, and the middle frame may have high moment of inertia. Therefore, the total drooping amount of the upper body is reduced to interrupt the increase in opening force of the moving body even though the shoe care devices are stacked in multiple stages.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, since the frame body may be manufactured by an ALDC material in an integrated structure formed by die casting, a connection portion between the upper frame and the middle frame, and a connection portion of the middle frame and the lower frame may secure the rigidity without bending processing or a separate fastening member. Therefore, the total drooping amount of the upper body is reduced to interrupt the increase in opening force of the moving body even though the shoe care devices are stacked in multiple stages.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal width of the middle frame may be larger than the horizontal width of the upper frame. Therefore, even though a front and rear width of the middle frame is formed to be equal to or less than the vertical width of the upper frame, the middle frame may have high moment of inertia resistant to drooping of the upper body and bending deformation of the middle body based on a neutral axis. Therefore, even though a second internal cabinet and a second external cabinet of the middle body have a small spacing distance in the front and rear direction, the middle frame may have high moment of inertia resistant to drooping of the upper body and bending deformation of the middle body based on a neutral axis.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the upper frame may include an upper extension portion and an upper connection portion. A vertical width of the upper connection portion may increase rearward. The bottom of the upper connection portion may be lowered at a constant slope rearwards. That is, the vertical width of the upper connection portion increases downward rearward. Therefore, the vertical width of the upper connection portion may increase at a constant slope rearward, and the center of figure of the upper connection portion may decrease at a constant slope rearward. Therefore, the upper connection portion may have a higher moment of inertia than the upper extension portion. In addition, the moment of inertia of the upper connection portion may increase rearwards. Therefore, the upper connection portion may have a high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body based on the neutral axis. Further, the upper connection portion may have high rigidity which is resistant to the permanent deformation and breakage.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the upper frame may extend to the front more than the lower frame. In this case, a location where the upper frame is coupled to the upper body may be positioned at the front more than a location where the lower frame is coupled to the lower body. Therefore, in the state in which the front surface of the upper frame is spaced apart rearward from the front surface of the upper body, the upper frame and the upper body have a solid coupling force, to minimize the drooping of the front end of the upper body.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the lower frame may include a lower extension portion and a lower connection portion. The vertical width of the lower connection portion may increase rearward. The top of the lower connection portion may be raised at a constant slope rearward. That is, the vertical width of the lower connection portion may increase upward rearward. Therefore, the vertical width of the lower connection portion may increase at a constant slope rearward, and the center of figure of the lower connection portion may increase at a constant slope rearward. Therefore, the lower connection portion may have a higher moment of inertia than the lower extension portion. In addition, the moment of inertia of the lower connection portion may increase rearwards. Therefore, the lower connection portion may have a high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body and the bending deformation of the middle body based on the neutral axis. Further, the lower connection portion may have high rigidity which is resistant to the permanent deformation and breakage.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, an upper cover portion covering the upper connection portion may be formed at the upper portion of the second internal cabinet. The upper cover portion may be projected to cover the upper connection portion on the front surface of the second internal cabinet. The aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the exposure of the upper connection portion may be prevented by the upper cover portion.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, a lower cover portion covering the lower connection portion may be formed at the rear of the third internal cabinet. The lower cover portion may be projected to cover the lower connection portion on the top of the third internal cabinet. The aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the exposure of the lower connection portion may be prevented by the lower cover portion.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, a through hole may be formed in the third internal cabinet. A reinforcing rib may be formed in the third external cabinet. The reinforcing rib may be inserted into the through hole. The harness of the motor may enter the inside of the lower body through the through hole. The reinforcing rib is formed at a point where the harness of the motor enters the inside of the lower body to form the rigidity at the entrance point.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, a fixation hook to which the harness of the motor is locked may be formed on the bottom of the base. The friction of the harness of the motor, and the resulting noise and damage may be prevented by the fixation hook.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the front frame may support the upper body based on the lower body at the front of the body. Therefore, a vertical gap of the lower body and the upper body may be maintained at the front of the body by the front frame. That is, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body may be interrupted by the front frame. Therefore, the body continuously maintains the ‘C’ shape on the side view, and as a result, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the drooping phenomenon of the upper body may be prevented. Further, the gap between the upper end of the transparent window and the upper body may be continuously maintained. Therefore, the increase in opening force of the moving body by the drooping of the upper body is interrupted, so the moving body may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location and the second location.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the first front frame may connect the lower body and the upper body at the front of the left side of the body. The second front frame may connect the lower body and the upper body at the front of the right side of the body. Therefore, based on the lower body, each corner portion of the upper body may have the same height.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the length of the flow portion hole may be larger than the gap between the first location and the second location. In addition, the horizontal width of the flow portion hole may be larger than the diameter of the front frame. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body moves between the first location and the second location, the front frame may not be in contact with the base. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body moves between the first location and the second location, the increase in opening force of the moving body by interference between the front frame and the base may be interrupted. Therefore, the moving body may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location and the second location.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the first front frame may be positioned at a shortest distance from the first window at the first location. In addition, the first front frame may form a predetermined distance from the second window between the first location and the second location. Therefore, the first front frame may be positioned at a shortest distance from the first curved surface portion where the first window and the second window meet at the first location. As the first front frame is positioned at a shortest distance from the first curved surface portion at the first location, when the vision of the user is positioned in a direction in which the X axis and the Y axis form an angle of approximately 45 degrees, the vision of the user may reach the first front frame through the first curved surface portion. That is, the first front frame may be observed through the first curved surface portion. Therefore, even though the first front frame is provided in the accommodation space, a visibility lowering phenomenon of the shoe by the first front frame may be minimized.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the second front frame may be positioned at a shortest distance from the first window at the first location. In addition, the second front frame may form a predetermined distance from the third window between the first location and the second location. Therefore, the second front frame may be positioned at a shortest distance from a corner portion where the first window and the third window meet, i.e., the second curved surface portion at the first location. As the second front frame is positioned at a shortest distance from the second curved surface portion at the first location, when the vision of the user is positioned in a direction in which the X axis and the Y axis form an angle of approximately 45 degrees, the vision of the user may reach the second front frame through the second curved surface portion. That is, the second front frame may be observed through the second curved surface portion. Therefore, even though the second front frame is provided in the accommodation space, a visibility lowering phenomenon of the shoe by the second front frame may be minimized.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the flip cover may be pushed by the front frame between the first location and the second location, and rotated to open the flow portion hole. Therefore, the lower side of the flow portion hole is just exposed through the flow portion hole only in the process of opening or closing the shoe care device, and the flow portion hole maintains the closed state by the flip cover at the first location and the second location of the moving body. Therefore, the environment of the accommodation space may be constantly maintained in the state of accommodating the shoes. Further, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the exposure of the top of the lower body may be prevented.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the contact surface of the first inclination portion which contacts the front frame may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover as going rearward. In addition, the contact surface of the second inclination portion which contacts the front frame may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover as going forward. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body moves between the first location and the second location, the flip cover gradually rotates to open and close the flow portion hole. Therefore, the flip cover is easily rotated, and as a result, the increase in opening force of the shoe care device by the rotation of the flip cover may be minimized.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, when the first flip cover is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the first flip cover may be used as the second flip cover. Similarly to this, when the second flip cover is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the second flip cover may be used as the first flip cover. That is, the first flip cover and the second flip cover may be manufactured to have the same shape. Therefore, the flip cover is easily manufactured and assembled to minimize the increase in production cost and the increase in production man-hours.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the rolling screen may maintain a tightly stretched state below the flow portion hole by the elastic restoration force of the first clockwork and the second clockwork. Therefore, the rolling screen may cover the flow portion hole below the flow portion hole. The rolling screen may continuously maintain the state of covering the flow portion hole between the first location and the second location. Therefore, the environment of the accommodation space may be constantly maintained in the state of accommodating the shoes. Further, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the exposure of the top of the lower body may be prevented.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the rear bracket may include a first rear bracket and a second rear bracket. The first rear bracket may connect the first shoe care device and the second shoe care device on the left rear surface of the body. The second rear bracket may connect the first shoe care device and the second shoe care device on the right rear surface of the body. Therefore, a rear corner portion of the second care device may have the same height as the rear surface of the first shoe care device. Therefore, the first shoe care device and the second shoe care device continuously maintain a height difference on the bottom view, and as a result, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device by the drooping phenomenon of the upper body may be prevented. Further, the increase in opening force of the moving body by the drooping of the upper body is interrupted, so the moving body may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location and the second location.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the rear bracket may be placed on the rear surface of the body. Since the rear bracket is placed not to be observed at the front of the transparent window, the aesthetics may be visually provided by minimizing the exposure of a member not directly related to the function of the shoe care device.
According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, the rear bracket including the first coupling portion, the second coupling portion, and the rear connection portion may be formed by bending one member formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the rear bracket. Therefore, the rear bracket can be easily manufactured, and the cutting surface of the rear bracket corresponding to the reinforcing member can be minimized.

When the shoe is directly exposed to dust, water, heat, and/or sunshine, a fiber material of the shoe may be damaged over time, and a color and a form of the shoe may be changed.
In order to keep the shoe in an original state (e.g., a state of the shoe at the time of purchase or a state of a clean shoe) for a long time, the shoe should not be exposed much to light and the shoe should be kept at a place that is not too cold or hot. Further, the shoe needs to be kept at a place at which a temperature and a humidity are appropriately maintained.
Since the shoe made of a leather or suede material is easily colored or has mold, the shoe should be kept in an environment where temperature and humidity are appropriately maintained. A mothball acquired by solidifying pesticides and fragrances have a unique chemical smell that makes it difficult to remove because the smell permeates the shoe when the mothball is kept jointly with the shoe.
Further, when the shoes are stacked in layers, the form of the shoe may be changed by an applied load.

Unlike the embodiment of the present invention, when the transparent window 210 is formed only on the front surface of the shoe care device 1, the shoe S may not be viewed at the left side or the right side of the shoe care device 1, and the display effect of the shoe may not be sufficiently shown.
Unlike the embodiment of the present invention, if the first window 211 and the second window 212 are not integrally configured (further, if the first window 211 and the third window 213 are not integrally configured), a boundary between the first window 211 and the second window 212 (further, a boundary between the first window 211 and the third window 213) is viewed to the user, and the boundary may visually block the shoe inside the accommodation space 10 and the display effect of the shoe may be reduced, and the satisfaction of the user may be lowered. Further, a gap may be generated between the boundaries, and foreign substances may be introduced into the accommodation space 10 through the gap.
The transparent window 210 includes a first curved surface portion 214 and a second curved surface portion 215. Each of the first curved surface portion 214 and the second curved surface portion 215 forms a vertical corner portion of the transparent window 210.

That is, on an inner surface and an outer surface of a portion connected from the first window 211 to the first curved surface portion 214 and the second window 212, the curvature radius may not be discontinuously changed, but a bent surface may not be formed.
When the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces of the first window 211 and the second window 212 are configured by planes in the transparent window 210, and the transparent window 210 is configured to include the first curved surface portion 214, the curvature radii of the inner surface and the outer surface of the first curved surface portion 214 may be configured as 1 to 50 mm.

Each of the outer surface and the inner surface of the second curved surface portion 215 is configured in the curved surface form which is convex to the outside of the transparent window 210.
The first window 211 and the second curved surface portion 215 may be configured so that the curvature radius is continuously changed. Further, the third window 213 and the second curved surface portion 215 may be configured so that the curvature radius is continuously changed. That is, on the inner surface and the outer surface of a portion connected from the first window 211 to the second curved surface portion 215 and the third window 213, the curvature radius may not be discontinuously changed, but the bent surface may not be formed.
When the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces of the first window 211 and the third window 213 are configured by the planes in the transparent window 213, and the transparent window 210 is configured to include the second curved surface portion 215, the curvature radii of the inner surface and the outer surface of the first curved surface portion 214 may be configured as 1 to 50 mm.
The transparent window 210 is configured to include the second curved surface portion 215, and as a result, the shoe S inside the accommodation space 10 may not be visually blocked through the second curved surface portion 215, but fully viewed to the user.

Further, the shoe S is not visually blocked, but the shoe S is viewed even through the connection portion of the first window 211 and the second window 212, and the connection portion of the first window 211 and the third window 213. Further, the air in the accommodation space 10 may be controlled, and the shoe S may be fully exposed at the front side, the left side, and the right side of the shoe care device 1, and both the management of the shoe and the display of the shoe may be effectively achieved.
Further, by the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, even though a plurality of shoe care devices 1 are stacked vertically or arranged horizontally, each shoe care device 1 may be smoothly operated, and each shoe S accommodated in each shoe care device 1 may be visually exposed.
The transparent window 210 integrally configured in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and includes the first curve portion 214 and the second curve portion 215. As a result, the aesthetic of the transparent window 210 itself may be excellent, and the shoe care device 1 may be easily assembled. Further, discoloration of the transparent window 210 may be prevented, and a solid transparent window 210 may be formed. Further, when the shoe S accommodated in the shoe care device 1 is viewed to an external user through the transparent window 210, the entire shape of the shoe is not divided, but integrally viewed, and distortion is prevented.
The base 220 is fixedly coupled to the lower side of the transparent window 210 to form a lower portion of the moving body 200. An entire form of the base 220 may be configured as a flat form in the horizontal direction. The base 220 may be configured in the square form on the plan view (see

As illustrated in
The upper bottom plate 135a may partition the accommodation space 10 and the upper space 130a. The upper bottom plate 135a may have a plate shape which is wide in the horizontal direction. The lower surface of the upper bottom plate 135a may form the upper surface of the accommodation space 10.
The upper surface of the top bottom plate 135a may form the bottom of the upper space 130a. The suction port 310 and the discharge port 420 may be formed on the upper bottom plate 135a. The air in the accommodation space 10 may be suctioned into the air path 300 through the suction port 310. The air in the air flow path 300 may be discharged to the accommodation space 10 through the discharge port 320.
The accommodation space 10 may exchange thermal energy with outside air through the first external cabinet 136. Therefore, the temperature of the accommodation space 10 may vary depending on the temperature of the outside air. The air path 300 is provided above the accommodation space 10, and the air flow the air path 300 to/from the upper space 130a may be stopped.
Therefore, the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may control the temperature of air circulated in the accommodation space 10 and the air path 300 regardless of the temperature variation of the outside air. Therefore, the accommodation space 10 may maintain an optimal temperature at which the shoe S may be appropriately kept.
The blowing part 330 is a component that circulates the air in the accommodation space 10 and the air path 300. The blowing part 330 and the air path 300 may be provided above the upper bottom plate 135a.
The blowing part 330 may include the fan 331 and the fan housing 332. The fan 331 may pressure-feed the air by the rotary movement of the impeller. The fan 331 may be provided inside the air path 300.
A power supply (not illustrated) may be provided in the base 220. The power supply may supply power to the fan 331. The controller 600 may control the power supplied to the fan 331 from the power supply.
The fan housing may be coupled to the top of the upper bottom plate 135a above the suction port 310. The fan housing 332 may be provided inside the air path 300 above the suction port 310. Alternatively, the fan housing 332 may constitute a part of the air path 300 above the suction port 310.

As illustrated in
The body 100 may include the lower body 110. The lower body 110 may be positioned below the accommodation space 10. The base 220 may be coupled to the lower body 110 to be relatively movable in the front and rear direction so as to open/close the accommodation space 10. The transparent window 210 may be coupled to the base 220. The transparent window 210 may form the front surface, and both side surfaces (the left surface and the right surface) of the accommodation space 10.
The turntable 230 may be rotatably coupled to the base 220 around a vertical axis 231. The base 220 and the turntable 230 may form the lower surface of the accommodation space 10 jointly. The upper surface of the turntable 230 may have the circular shape around the vertical axis 231.
The motor 290 may be provided in the base 220. The motor 290 may deliver the rotary movement to the turntable 230. The rotational axis 231 of the turntable 230 may be in line with the vertical direction. The axis of the motor 290 may be directly coupled to the rotational axis 231 of the turntable 230.
The first light 410 may irradiate light to the top of the turntable 230 on which the shoe S is placed on the extension line of the vertical axis 231. The first light 410 may be coupled to the upper bottom plate 135a.
As illustrated in
The first light 410 may be provided on the extension line of the vertical axis 231. Therefore, the suction port 310 and the discharge port 320 of the air path 300 may be formed at opposite sides to each other in the horizontal direction based on the extension line of the vertical axis 231. The accommodation space 10 may be parallel to the first direction X which is the horizontal direction and form the symmetry based on the reference surface RP which is the vertical surface. The extension line of the vertical axis 231 may be positioned within the reference plane RP.
As the first light 410 and the air path 300 are placed in the upper space 130a in the horizontal direction, the upper space 130a may be formed to have a low height. An increase in height of the upper space 130a may be in proportion to an increase in volume of the shoe care device 1. A volume increase of home appliances may be a major factor which reduces installability and usability, and raises product prices.
The first light 410 and the air path 300 are placed in the upper space 130a in the horizontal direction, and as a result, the upper space 130a may be efficiently utilized, and the installability and usability of the shoe care device 1 may be increased.
As an example, the suction port 310 and the discharge port 320 of the air path 300 may be formed at opposite sides to each other based on the first light 410. In this case, the path of the air path 300 may be formed along the horizontal circumference of the first light before or behind the first light 410 in the first direction X.
Alternatively, the suction port 310 and the discharge port 320 of the air path 300 may also be formed at opposite sides to each other in the front and rear direction based on the first light 410. In this case, the path of the air path 300 may be formed along the horizontal circumference of the first light 410 before or behind the first light 410 in the second direction Y.
A placement form of the suction port 310, the discharge port 320, and the air path 300 based on the first light 410 may be decided in association with the placement of the controller 600 and the second light 420.
When the controller 600 is placed in front in the second direction Y in the upper space 130a, the suction port 310 and the discharge port 320 of the air path 300 may be formed at opposite sides to each other in the front and rear direction based on the first light 410. In this case, the path of the air path 300 may be formed along the horizontal circumference of the first light 410 behind the first light 410 in the second direction Y.
Alternatively, when the controller 600 is placed in the rear in the second direction Y in the upper space 130a, the suction port 310 and the discharge port 320 of the air path 300 may be formed at opposite sides to each other in the front and rear direction based on the first light 410. In this case, the path of the air path 300 may be formed along the horizontal circumference of the first light 410 before the first light 410 in the second direction Y.

Therefore, an area where the air drops descends at the discharge port 320 as a starting point and an area where the air rises at the suction port 310 as an ending point in the accommodation space 10 are parallel to the first direction X which is the horizontal direction, and are divided based on the reference plane RP which is the vertical plane, and as a result, the air circulation in the accommodation space 10 may be smooth. Further, even though a direction in which the shoe S is placed is changed while the turntable 230 rotates, a uniform air flow may be formed on the entire surface of the shoe S placed on the top.
As illustrated in
The first path 300a may be formed to extend to the rear side in the first direction X from the upper portion of the suction port 310. The first path 300a may form a path in which the air in the accommodation space 10 suctioned from the suction port 310 by the blowing part 330 flows to the rear in the first direction X.
The fan housing may form a part of the first path 300a. The path barrier 135d constituting the first path 300a may be coupled to a side portion of the fan housing 332. The path cover 1353 constituting the first path 300a may be coupled to a top portion of the fan housing 332. The upper bottom plate 135a may form the bottom of the first path 300a.
The third path 300c may be formed to extend to the rear side in the first direction X from the upper portion of the discharge port 320. The third path 300c may form a path in which the air in the second path 300b flows to the front in the first direction X. The air in the third path 300c may be discharged to the accommodation space 10 through the discharge port 320.
The second path 300b may be formed to connect the first path 300a and the third path 300c in the second direction Y. The second path 300b may form a path in which the air in the first path 300a flows to the front in the second direction Y. The heating part 340 may be provided in the second path 300b. The heating part 340 may deliver thermal energy to the air which moves in the air path 300.
The path barrier 135d may form side surfaces of the second path 300b and the third path 300c. The path cover 1353 may form tops of the second path 300b and the third path 300c. The upper bottom plate 135a may form bottoms of the second path 300b and the third path 300c.
As illustrated in
The heat wire 341 may be a hot wire for generating heat through current. The controller 600 controls the current which flows on the heat wire 341 to control the temperature of the heating part 340. The heat wire 341 may be connected to the heat dissipation member 342.
A power supply (not illustrated) may be provided in the base 220. The power supply may supply power to the heat wire 341. The controller 600 may control the power supplied to the heat wire 341 from the power supply.
The measurement sensor 138 that measures the temperature and/or the humidity of the accommodation space 10 may be installed at one side of the accommodation space 10. The measurement sensor 138 may be installed in the upper body 130, the middle body 120, or the base 220. As an example, the measurement sensor 138 may be installed on the upper bottom plate 135a. The controller 600 may receive the measurement value of the measurement sensor 138.
The operating time and the operating pattern of the blowing part 330 and the heating part 340, and the current amount applied to the heating part 340 according to the measurement value of the load sensor may be set in the controller 600.
The user may input the operating time and the operating pattern of the blowing part 330 and the heating part 340, and the current amount applied to the heating part 340 according to the temperature and/or the humidity of the accommodation space 10 into the controller through the operating button 610.
The controller 600 may control the current applied to the heat wire 341 according to the measurement value of the measurement sensor 138. The temperature of the heat wire 341 may vary depending on the measurement value of the measurement sensor 138. Therefore, the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention controls the temperature and/or the humidity of the accommodation space 10 to completely interrupt the deformation or the contamination of the shoe S.

As illustrated in
The first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a may be formed in a plate shape parallel to the upper bottom plate 135a. The top and the bottom of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a may form the contact surface with the air which flows in the air path 300. One or more first horizontal heat dissipation plates 3 may be provided. A plurality of first horizontal heat dissipation plates 3 may be spaced apart in the vertical direction.
The first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b may be formed in the plate shape parallel to an adjacent path barrier 135d. Both surfaces of the first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b may form the contact surface with the air which flows in the air path 300. One or more first vertical heat dissipation plates 343b may be provided. A plurality of first vertical heat dissipation plates 343b may be spaced apart in the width direction of the air path 300.
A thermal fuse may be coupled to any one of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a and the first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b. The thermal fuse is deformed or melted at a setting temperature to open an electrical circuit. Therefore, overheating and fire of the shoe care device 1 may be prevented.
A plurality of winding holes 343c may be formed on the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a and the first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b.
As illustrated in
The winding holes 343c may be formed in a zigzag form in a path direction of the air path 300. All of the winding holes 343c of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a and the first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b may be formed in the zigzag form in the path direction of the air path 300. Alternatively, only the winding holes 343c of any one of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a and the first vertical heat dissipation plate 343b may be formed in the zigzag form in the path direction of the air path 300.
As illustrated in
Therefore, even though the controller 600 supplies relatively small current to the heat wire 341, larger thermal energy may be delivered to the air which flows in the accommodation space 10. Therefore, a current amount required for operating the shoe care device 1 may be reduced.
As illustrated in
The spacing projection portion 137 may include a first spacing projection portion 137a, a second spacing projection portion 137b, and a third spacing projection portion 137c.
The first spacing projection portion 137a may be projected toward the air path 300 from the top of the upper bottom plate 135a. The second spacing projection portion 137b may be projected toward the air path 300 from both inner surfaces of the path barrier 135d. The third spacing projection portion 137c may be projected toward the air path 300 from the bottom of the path cover 135e.
As illustrated in
The second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may be coupled to each of the upper portion and the lower portion of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a. The second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may form the contact surface with the air which flows in the air path 300.
The lower second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may be formed in the plate shape parallel to the upper bottom plate 135a. The lower second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may be spaced upward from the top of the upper bottom plate 135a by the first spacing projection portion 137a.
The first spacing projection portion 137a may be formed to be long in line with the path direction of the air path 300. Therefore, a path in which air flows may be formed between the lower second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a and the upper bottom plate 135a. Therefore, the thermal energy of the air path 300 may be delivered to the accommodation space 10 in the form of heat conducting through the upper bottom plate 135a. Therefore, operation efficiency of the heating part 340 may be enhanced.
The upper second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may be formed in the plate shape parallel to the path cover 135e. The upper second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344a may be spaced downward from the bottom of the path cover 1353 by the third spacing projection portion 137c.
As illustrated in
As described above, an increase in height of the upper space 130a may be in proportion to an increase in volume of the shoe care device 1. A volume increase of home appliances may be a major factor which reduces installability and usability, and raises product prices. Therefore, an up-down direction spacing distance between the path cover 135e and the first external cabinet 136 should be minimized.
However, as the up-down direction spacing distance between the path cover 135e and the first external cabinet 136 decreases, an amount of the thermal energy of the air path 300, which is dispersed to the outside air increases by the heat delivery through the path cover 135e and the first external cabinet 136, so the operating efficiency of the heating part 340 may be lowered.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The heat insulation space 300d may form a space isolated from the air path 300 and the upper space 130a. Therefore, the thermal energy of the air path 300 delivered to the path cover 135e may be reduced by the heat insulation space 300d.
Therefore, even though the up-down direction spacing distance between the path cover 135e and the first external cabinet 136 decreases, the amount of the thermal energy of the air path 300, which is dispersed to the outside air is minimized by the heat delivery through the path cover 135e and the first external cabinet 136, so the operating efficiency of the heating part 340 may be enhanced.
The second horizontal heat dissipation plate 344b may be coupled to each of the left side and the right side of the first horizontal heat dissipation plate 343a. The second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b may be formed in the plate shape parallel to the adjacent path barrier 135d. The second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b may form the contact surface with the air which flows in the air path 300. The second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b may be spaced apart from the path barrier 135d by the second spacing projection portion 137d.
When the thermal energy of the air path 300 is dispersed to the upper space 130a by the heat delivery through the path barrier 135d, the operating efficiency of the heating part 340 may be lowered.
The second spacing projection portion 137b may be formed to be long in an orthogonal direction to the path direction of the air path 300. The second spacing projection portion 137b may prevent the air flow between the path barrier 135d and the second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b. Therefore, the thermal energy of the air path 300 delivered to the upper space 130a between the path barrier 135d and the second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b may be reduced.
Therefore, even though the spacing distance between the path barrier 135d and the second vertical heat dissipation plate 344b decreases, the amount of the thermal energy of the air path 300, which is dispersed to the upper space 130a is minimized by the heat delivery through the path barrier 135d, so the operating efficiency of the heating part 340 may be enhanced.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the shoe care device 1 may include the body 100, the moving body 200, the blowing part 330, and the frame body 800.
The body 100 as a part that forms a part of the accommodation space 10 may constitute a reference location for the moving body 200 which slidably moves.
The moving body 200 is a part that forms the accommodation space 10 jointly with the body 100, and is coupled to the body 100 to slidably move between the first location and the second location in front of the first location.
The blowing part 330 as a part configured to circulate the air in the accommodation space 10 may allow the shoe accommodated in the accommodation space 10 to be paced in an appropriate environment by adjusting an air state (in particular, humidity) of the accommodation space 10.
The frame body 800 as a part that is coupled to the body 100 and supports the body 100 in a shape of connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 may reinforce each connection portion of the body 100 which has a relatively vulnerable rigidity structurally.
As described above, in order to for the moving body 200 to slidably move with respect to the body 100, the front surface of the body 100 needs to be opened to correspond to the shape of the moving body 200. Therefore, the body 100 should be formed in a structure to approximately support even a load applied to the opened front surface at portions other than the front surface.
However, in that the body 100 has various components placed therein, and it is possible to form the size or the rigidity to be unlimitedly large, it is necessary to reinforce a structurally vulnerable portion with a separate reinforcing member.
In particular, when the body 100 is formed in a shape in which the front surface is opened, it is necessary to support even the load applied to the front surface on the reaming upper surface, lower surface, and the rear surface, so it may be preferable to reinforce each connection portion of the parts.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is coupled to the body 100 in a shape connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 to support the body 100, the shoe care device 1 may maintain a stable state by reinforcing a structural vulnerable part in the body 100.
The shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include the heating part 340 configured to heat the circulated air in the accommodation space 10 to appropriately maintain the environment of the accommodation space 10, thereby more effectively caring the shoe.
Further, in the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the body 100 includes the upper body 130 forming the top of the accommodation space 10, the lower body positioned below the accommodation space 10, and the middle body 120 forming the rear surface of the accommodation space 10 by connecting the rear sides of the upper body 130 and the lower body 110, and the moving body 200 includes the base 220 slidably coupled to the lower body 110 and the transparent window 210 extending upward on the base 220 and forming the front surface and both side surfaces of the accommodation space 10 to stably maintain the connection structure of the body 100 and the moving body 200 in the process of the sliding movement of the moving body 200 with respect to the body 100.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be configured to include an upper frame 830 coupled to the upper body 130, a lower frame 810 coupled to the lower body 110, and a middle frame 820 connecting rear sides of the upper frame 830 and the lower frame 810 and coupled to the middle body 120.
As described above, the body 100 in which the lower body 110, the middle body 120, and the upper body 130 are combined is configured in the C shape when viewed from the side, so the body 100 may form three surfaces of the shoe care device 1 in the 3D space.
Therefore, since the upper body 130 and the lower body 110 are formed in a shape of being projected forward from the middle body 120, the structure for supporting the load there may not actually be present at the front ends of the upper body 130 and the lower body 110.
In particular, in that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever structure formed to be projected from the middle body 120, if the middle body 120 does not appropriately support the upper body 130, there may be a problem in that the front end of the upper body 130 is drooped.
In this case, in that there is a structural limit to support the upper body 130 only with the middle body 120, it may be preferable to reinforce the connection portion of the lower body 110 and the middle body 120 through the frame body 800, and then reinforce both the middle body 120 and the upper body 130 through the frame body 800.
Therefore, it may be preferable to achieve reinforcement in a structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 of the body 100 to each other through the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 of the frame body 800.
That is, the frame body 800 may also be formed in the C shape when viewed from the side, so it is possible to reinforce the structural vulnerable portion of the body 100 formed in the C shape.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is configured to include the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820, the vulnerable portion of the body 100 may be reinforced in the structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 to each other.
Meanwhile, when a plurality of shoe care devices 1 is provided, any one shoe care device 1 may be placed on the upper surface of the upper body 130 of the other one shoe care device 1, and both the shoe care devices 1 may be stacked on each other.
In this case, in that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever (C) structure formed to be projected from the middle body 120, if the load of the shoe care device 1 stacked at the upper portion is applied to the front surface of the upper body 130 of the shoe care device 1 positioned at the lower portion, there may be a problem in that the front end of the upper body 130 is drooped.
Therefore, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, the frame body 800 is configured to be concentratedly placed on the rear surface of the body 100 to support the body 100.
That is, an overall center of gravity may move backward by the frame body 800 placed concentratedly on the rear surface of the body 100, so stress can be prevented from being concentrated on a front surface portion of the upper body 130 of the shoe care device 1 positioned below even though the plurality of shoe care devices are stacked on each other.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 may be formed by bending one member which is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction.
As such, in order to form the frame body 800 in the C shape, it may be considered that the frame body 800 is manufactured by connecting three members to each other.
However, since multiple separate connection members for connecting three members to each other are required, manufacturing may be complicated, and there is a risk that there will be the structural vulnerability in that at least two complete cut surfaces are present in the frame body 800.
Therefore, it may be preferable that at least two in one member are bent and formed in the C shape to easily and firmly manufacture the frame body 800.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 including the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 is formed by bending one member which is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction, the frame body 800 may be easily manufactured, and a cutting surface of the frame body 800 corresponding to a reinforcing member may be minimized.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 may be formed in a form of cutting a part of a flange 801 and bending a part of a web 802 in C-shaped channel steel.
By considering a secondary section modulus, it may be advantageous that the reinforcing member has a tubular or a C-shaped structure rather than a plate type structure. Among them, it may be preferable to form the frame body 800 with the C-shaped channel steel which is relatively easily bent in that it is difficult to bend the tubular structure.
Meanwhile, since it is difficult to bend the C-shaped channel steel as it is, the web 802 is not cut and only a part of the flange 801 is cut to relatively minimize the cut surface. In addition, the web 802 of the cut portion of the flange 801 is bent to form the frame body 800 having the C shape as a whole.
Therefore, one C-shaped channel steel may be easily formed as the frame body 800 including the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 while minimizing the cut surface.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is formed in a form of cutting a part of the flange 801 and bending a part of the web 802 in the C-shaped channel steel, the rigidity of the frame body 800 formed by one C-shaped channel steel may be configured to be larger.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820, a fastening member 803 may be fastened to the flange (801) portion overlapped after bending the web 802.
As such, when a part of the flange 801 is cut, and then the web 802 of the corresponding part is bent, cut flanges 801 may partially overlap with each other. Therefore, the fastening member 803 is fastened to the overlapped portions to stably maintain the bent portion in a stable state.
In particular, in that the cut part of the flange 801 may have relatively lowered rigidity, and the bent portion is a most vulnerable portion in terms of the structure of the frame body 800, it may be preferable to reinforce the corresponding portion with the fastening member 803.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is formed in the structure in which the fastening member 803 is fastened to the overlapped portion of the flange 801 after bending the web 802, it is possible to prevent the bent portion of the C-shaped channel steel from being structurally vulnerable.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820, the flange (801) portion overlapped after bending the web 802 is coupled by welding.
As illustrated in
In particular, in that the cut part of the flange 801 may have relatively lowered rigidity, and the bent portion is a most vulnerable portion in terms of the structure of the frame body 800, it may be preferable to reinforce the corresponding portion with the weld bead 804.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is formed in the structure in which the flange (801) portion overlapped after bending the web 802 is coupled by welding, it is possible to prevent the bent portion of the C-shaped channel steel from being structurally vulnerable.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be placed inside the body 100.
As such, the frame body 800 need not be visually exposed to the user in that the frame body 800 is a member for reinforcing the structural vulnerable portion of the body 100.
In particular, when the frame body 800 is made of a metallic material such as the C-shaped channel steel, there is a risk that a problem such as corrosion of the frame body 800 exposed to the outside will occur.
Therefore, it may be preferable that the frame body 800 is placed inside the body 100 so as not to be exposed to the outside.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is placed not to be exposed to the outside, the aesthetics may be visually provided by minimizing the exposure of a member not directly related to the function of the shoe care device 1.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of frame bodies 800 may be placed in the left and right direction of the body 100.
It may be preferable to place the frame body 800 on an entire surface of the body 100 in order to reinforce the vulnerable portion of the body 100, but such a structure is uneconomical and there is a risk of increasing the load of the shoe care device 1.
Therefore, placing the plurality of frame bodies 800 at a predetermined interval within a range to securing the structural stability may be most effective by considering the structural rigidity and the economics of the product.
In this case, in order to prevent deformation such as structural distortions according to the rigidity imbalance of the shoe care device 1, it may be preferable that the frame body 800 is placed symmetric in the left and right direction of the body 100.
As such, in the shoe care device 1 according to the embodiment, since the plurality of frame bodies 800 are placed in the left and right direction of the body 100 to reinforce the body 100, the body 100 may be structurally reinforced more uniformly and stably.
In the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the moving body 200 further includes the turntable 230 coupled to the base 220 rotatably around the vertical axis, and forming the bottom of the accommodation space 10 jointly with the base 220 to rotate and display the shoe, and the air flow is formed in various direction of the shoe to achieve the uniform care throughout the shoe.
Further, in the shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the rotational axis 231 of the turntable 230 is positioned in front of the front end of the body 100 based on the state in which the moving body 200 is at the second location, sufficient opening for storing and withdrawing the shoe may be made while maintaining a stable state in the opening process of the accommodation space 10.
The shoe care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes the stopping part 130s configured to restrict the sliding movement of the moving body 200 with respect to the body 100 to prevent separation of the body 100 and the moving body 200 or a reverse which occurs due to a change in center of gravity when the moving body 200 excessively moves for the opened state.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
The lower frame 810 may be configured to be long in the front and rear direction. The middle frame 820 may extend upward on the rear end of the lower frame 810. The upper frame 830 may extend upward on the upper end of the middle frame 820.
The upper body 130 may be coupled to the upper frame 830 of the frame body 800. In this case, while the member such as the bolt is fastened to the upper frame 830 and the upper body 130, the upper body 130 and the frame body 800 may be coupled. The member such as the bolt may be coupled to the upper body 130 in front of the upper frame 830 and further, coupled to the upper body 130 in the rear of the upper frame 830.
In addition, the middle body 120 and the middle frame 820 may be coupled in a form in which the inner wall of the middle body 120 is in close contact with the middle frame 820 inside the middle frame 820. In this case, the member such as the bolt may be fastened to the middle body 120 and the middle frame 820.
In addition, the lower body 110 may be coupled to the lower frame 810 of the frame body 800. The bottom plate of the lower body 110 may be coupled to the lower frame 810 in close contact with the lower side of the lower frame 810. In this case, while the member such as the bolt is fastened to the lower frame 810 and the bottom plate of the lower body 110, the lower body 110 and the frame body 800 may be coupled. The member such as the bolt may be coupled to the lower body 110 in front of the lower frame 810 and further, coupled to the lower body 110 in the rear of the lower frame 810.
An external cabinet of the body 100 may be coupled to the middle frame 820 of the frame body 800. The external cabinet may be divided into a first external cabinet 136 and a second external cabinet 125.
The external cabinet may be coupled to the middle frame 820 while being in close contact with the outside of the frame body 800. In this case, while the member such as the bolt is fastened to the middle frame 820 and the first external cabinet 136, the first external cabinet 136 and the frame body 800 may be coupled. The member such as the bolt may be coupled to the first external cabinet 136 above the middle frame 820 and further, coupled to the first external cabinet 136 below the middle frame 820.
Further, while the member such as the bolt is fastened to the middle frame 820 and the second external cabinet 125, the second external cabinet 125 and the frame body 800 may be coupled.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the shoe care device 2 may include the body 100, the moving body 200, the blowing part 330, and the frame body 800.
The body 100 as a part that forms a part of the accommodation space 10 may constitute a reference location for the moving body 200 which slidably moves.
The moving body 200 is a part that forms the accommodation space 10 jointly with the body 100, and is coupled to the body 100 to slidably move between the first location and the second location in front of the first location.
That is, the moving body 200 is apart that forms the remaining part of the accommodation space, and while the moving body 200 slidably moves with respect to the body 100, the accommodation space 10 may be opened/closed.
In particular, the moving body 200 may be configured to reciprocally move between the first location and the second location in the front and rear direction with respect to the body 100. In this case, a state in which the moving body 200 is at the first location may be defined as a closed state and a state in which the moving body 200 is at the second location may be defined as an opened state.
In the opened state of the shoe care device 2, the accommodation space 10 may be sealed from outside air. Therefore, when the shoe is accommodated in the accommodation space 10 and the accommodation space 10 is closed, the contact of the shoe with dust and moisture of the outside air may be interrupted.
The blowing part 330 as a part configured to circulate the air in the accommodation space 10 may allow the shoe accommodated in the accommodation space 10 to be paced in an appropriate environment by adjusting an air state (in particular, humidity) of the accommodation space 10.
As such, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, the shoe is accommodated in the accommodation space 10 formed by both the body 100 and the moving body 200, and the state is switched to the closed state to display the shoe and the air is circulated in the accommodation space 10 through the blowing part 330 to adjust the state of the accommodation space 10, thereby effectively implementing both the shoe display effect and the shoe care effect.
The frame body 800 as a part that is coupled to the body 100 and supports the body 100 in a shape of connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 may reinforce each connection portion of the body 100 which has a relatively vulnerable rigidity structurally.
As described above, in order to for the moving body 200 to slidably move with respect to the body 100, the front surface of the body 100 needs to be opened to correspond to the shape of the moving body 200. Therefore, the body 100 should be formed in a structure to approximately support even a load applied to the opened front surface at portions other than the front surface.
However, in that the body 100 has various components placed therein, and it is possible to form the size or the rigidity to be unlimitedly large, it is necessary to reinforce a structurally vulnerable portion with a separate reinforcing member.
In particular, when the body 100 is formed in a shape in which the front surface is opened, it is necessary to support even the load applied to the front surface on the reaming upper surface, lower surface, and the rear surface, so it may be preferable to reinforce each connection portion of the parts.
As such, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is coupled to the body 100 in a shape connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 to support the body 100, the shoe care device 2 may maintain a stable state by reinforcing a structural vulnerable part in the body 100.
The shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include the heating part 340 configured to heat the circulated air in the accommodation space 10 to appropriately maintain the environment of the accommodation space 10, thereby more effectively caring the shoe.
Further, in the shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the body 100 includes the upper body 130 forming the top of the accommodation space 10, the lower body positioned below the accommodation space 10, and the middle body 120 forming the rear surface of the accommodation space 10 by connecting the rear sides of the upper body 130 and the lower body 110, and the moving body 200 includes the base 220 slidably coupled to the lower body 110 and the transparent window 210 extending upward on the base 220 and forming the front surface and both side surfaces of the accommodation space 10 to stably maintain the connection structure of the body 100 and the moving body 200 in the process of the sliding movement of the moving body 200 with respect to the body 100.
In the shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be configured to include an upper frame 830 coupled to the upper body 130, a lower frame 810 coupled to the lower body 110, and a middle frame 820 connecting rear sides of the upper frame 830 and the lower frame 810 and coupled to the middle body 120.
As described above, the body 100 in which the lower body 110, the middle body 120, and the upper body 130 are combined is configured in the C shape when viewed from the side, so the body 100 may form three surfaces of the shoe care device 2 in the 3D space.
Therefore, since the upper body 130 and the lower body 110 are formed in a shape of being projected forward from the middle body 120, the structure for supporting the load there may not actually be present at the front ends of the upper body 130 and the lower body 110.
In particular, in that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever (C) structure formed to be projected from the middle body 120, if the middle body 120 does not appropriately support the upper body 130, there may be a problem in that the front end of the upper body 130 is drooped.
In this case, in that there is a structural limit to support the upper body 130 only with the middle body 120, it may be preferable to reinforce the connection portion of the lower body 110 and the middle body 120 through the frame body 800, and then reinforce both the middle body 120 and the upper body 130 through the frame body 800.
Therefore, it may be preferable to achieve reinforcement in a structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 of the body 100 to each other through the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 of the frame body 800.
That is, the frame body 800 may also be formed in the C shape when viewed from the side, so it is possible to reinforce the structural vulnerable portion of the body 100 formed in the C shape.
As such, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is configured to include the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820, the vulnerable portion of the body 100 may be reinforced in the structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 to each other.
In addition, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, the frame body 800 is configured to be concentratedly placed on the rear surface of the body 100 to support the body 100.
That is, an overall center of gravity may move backward by the frame body 800 placed concentratedly on the rear surface of the body 100, so stress can be prevented from being concentrated on a front surface portion of the upper body 130 of the shoe care device 2.
Meanwhile, when a plurality of shoe care devices 2 is provided, any one shoe care device 2 may be placed on the upper surface of the upper body 130 of the other one shoe care device 2, and both the shoe care devices 2 may be stacked on each other.
In this case, in that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever (C) structure formed to be projected from the middle body 120, if the load of the shoe care device 2 stacked at the upper portion is applied to the front surface of the upper body 130 of the shoe care device 2 positioned at the lower portion, there may be a problem in that the front end of the upper body 130 is drooped.
In the shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be placed inside the body 100.
As such, the frame body 800 need not be visually exposed to the user in that the frame body 800 is a member for reinforcing the structural vulnerable portion of the body 100.
Therefore, it may be preferable that the frame body 800 is placed inside the body 100 so as not to be exposed to the outside.
As such, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is placed not to be exposed to the outside, the aesthetics may be visually provided by minimizing the exposure of a member not directly related to the function of the display device 2.
In the shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of frame bodies 800 may be placed in the left and right direction of the body 100.
It may be preferable to place the frame body 800 on an entire surface of the body 100 in order to reinforce the vulnerable portion of the body 100, but such a structure is uneconomical and there is a risk of increasing the load of the shoe care device 2.
Therefore, placing the plurality of frame bodies 800 at a predetermined interval within a range to securing the structural stability may be most effective by considering the structural rigidity and the economics of the product.
In this case, in order to prevent deformation such as structural distortions according to the rigidity imbalance of the shoe care device 2, it may be preferable that the frame body 800 is placed symmetric in the left and right direction of the body 100.
As such, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment, since the plurality of frame bodies 800 are placed in the left and right direction of the body 100 to reinforce the body 100, the body 100 may be structurally reinforced more uniformly and stably.
When the front end portion of the upper body 130 is drooped, a force (hereinafter, referred to as ‘opening force’) required for slidably moving the moving body 200 in the opened state may be increased.
The transparent window 210 may be configured to include a first pin portion 212a and a second pin portion 213a (see
The upper surfaces of the first pin portion 212a and the second pin portion 213a may be spaced apart from the upper body 130 in the vertical direction by dl in a state in which external force is not applied (hereinafter, referred to as ‘initial state’). Therefore, the transparent window may form a vertical gap (hereinafter, referred to as ‘initial gap’) of dl from the upper body 130 in the initial state.
When a drooping amount of an end of the cantilever C exceeds dl by the load F applied to the end of the cantilever C, the upper body 130 and the transparent window 210 have a contact surface with each other. In this case, when the moving body 200 is slidably moved in the opened state, the friction force is generated on the contact surface and an opening force F2 thus increases.
Therefore, in order to reduce the opening force F2, a total drooping amount of the upper body 130 should be reduced. In order to achieve this, the frame body 800 which is coupled to the body 100 in the shape of connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 to each other to support the body 100 should have high flexural rigidity EI.
The flexural rigidity of the frame body 800 may be increased by increasing an elastic modulus E or a moment of inertia I of the frame body 800.
In the shoe care device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be configured to include an upper frame 830 coupled to the upper body 130, a lower frame 810 coupled to the lower body 110, and a middle frame 820 connecting rear sides of the upper frame 830 and the lower frame 810 and coupled to the middle body 120.
The frame body 800 may be integrally manufactured by die casting. The die casting is a precision casting method that injects molten metal into a steel-made mold accurately machined to match a required casting shape to obtain the same casting as the mold. The die casting has a feature that a mechanical property is excellent and mass production is possible in addition to an advantage that a dimension is accurate, and thus there is no need to trim.
The frame body 800 may be made of an aluminum die cast (ALDC) material. As an example, the frame body 800 may be made of an Al—Si based alloy (ALDC1), Al—Si—Mg (ALDC2), an Al—Si—Cu based alloy (ALDC7,8), an Al—Mg based alloy (ALDC3,4), etc.
In the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 is manufactured in an integrated structure made of the ALDC material by the die casting, and as a result, each of the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 may have a cross-sectional shape without a hollow. Therefore, each of the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 may have high moment of inertia. Therefore, the total drooping amount of the upper body 130 is reduced to interrupt the increase in opening force of the moving body 200 even though the shoe care devices 2 are stacked in multiple stages.
The moment of inertia is a value by integrating a value acquired by multiplying a fine cross-sectional area of a cross section from any axis and a square of a distance up to the axis with respect to a whole cross section. Therefore, the moment of inertia means a property of the cross section sued for predicting resistance to flexure or drooping. For example, a material having a shape with a large moment of inertia with respect to a direction of applied force is resistant to the flexure.
Further, in the shoe care device 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 is manufactured in the integrated structure made of the ALDC material by the die casting, and as a result, the connection portion of the upper frame 830 and the middle frame 820, and the connection portion of the middle frame 820 and the lower frame 810 may secure the rigidity without bending processing or a separate fastening member. Therefore, the total drooping amount of the upper body 130 is reduced to interrupt the increase in opening force of the moving body 200 even though the shoe care devices 2 are stacked in multiple stages.
The middle frame 820 may have a pillar shape which is long in the vertical direction. A (longitudinal and orthogonal) cross section of the middle frame 820 may have a substantially rectangular shape. The cross section of the middle frame 820 may have a symmetric shape based on a neutral axis passing through a center of figure in a Y-axis direction.
The middle frame 820 may have recontouring grooves on the left surface and the right surface in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the cross section of the middle frame 820 may have a shape in which a part close to the center of figure based on the neutral axis passing through the center of figure in the Y-axis direction has a relatively small horizontal width and a part distant from the center of figure has a relatively large horizontal width. Therefore, the middle frame 820 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 and flexure deformation of the middle body 120 based on the neutral axis even though the recontouring groove is formed in the longitudinal direction.
The middle frame 820 may have a plurality of middle ribs 821 inside the recontouring groove in the longitudinal direction in order to reinforce the rigidity. The middle ribs 821 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction). The middle ribs 821 may connect the inner surface of the recontouring groove in the front and rear direction. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the middle frame 820 is increased by the middle ribs 821, and as a result, the middle frame 820 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 and flexure deformation of the middle body 120 based on the neutral axis.
As described above, the moment of inertia is the value by integrating the value acquired by multiplying the fine cross-sectional area of the cross section from any axis and the square of the distance up to the axis with respect to the whole cross section. A horizontal width of the middle frame 820 may be larger than the horizontal width of the upper frame 830. Therefore, even though a front and rear width of the middle frame 820 is formed to be equal to or smaller than the vertical width of the upper frame 830, the middle frame 820 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 and flexure deformation of the middle body 120 based on the neutral axis. Therefore, even though the second internal cabinet 124 and the second external cabinet 125 of the middle body 120 have a small spacing distance in the front and rear direction, the middle frame 820 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 and flexure deformation of the middle body 120 based on the neutral axis.
The upper frame 830 may have a beam shape which is long in the front and rear direction. The (longitudinal and orthogonal) cross section of the upper frame 830 may have the substantially rectangular shape. The cross section of the upper frame 830 may have the symmetric shape based on the neutral axis passing through the center of figure in the Y-axis direction.
The upper frame 830 may have recontouring grooves on the left surface and the right surface in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the cross section of the upper frame 830 may have a shape in which a part close to the center of figure based on the neutral axis passing through the center of figure in the Y-axis direction has the relatively small horizontal width and a part distant from the center of figure has the relatively large horizontal width. Therefore, the upper frame 830 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis even though the recontouring groove is formed in the longitudinal direction.
The upper frame 830 may have a plurality of upper ribs 833 inside the recontouring groove in the longitudinal direction in order to reinforce the rigidity. The upper ribs 833 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction (front and rear direction). The upper ribs 833 may connect the inner surface of the recontouring groove in the vertical direction. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the upper frame 830 is increased by the upper ribs 833, and as a result, the middle frame 830 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis.
As described above, the moment of inertia is the value by integrating the value acquired by multiplying the fine cross-sectional area of the cross section from any axis and the square of the distance up to the axis with respect to the whole cross section. A vertical width of the upper frame 830 may be larger than the horizontal width. Therefore, the upper frame 830 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis even though the horizontal width of the upper frame 830 is smaller than the horizontal width of the middle frame 820.
The upper frame 830 may include an upper extension portion 831 and an upper connection portion 832.
The upper extension portion 831 may have the beam shape which is long in the front and rear direction. The (longitudinal and orthogonal) cross section of the upper extension portion 831 may have the substantially rectangular shape. The vertical width of the upper extension portion 831 may be substantially constant in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of holes 831s into which the bolts are inserted may be formed at the upper extension portion 831 in the longitudinal direction of the upper extension portion 831. The upper extension portion 831 may be fastened to a boss of the first internal cabinet 135 by the bolts passing through the holes 831a.
The upper connection portion 832 is a part that connects the rear side of the upper extension portion 831 to the middle body 120. The vertical width of the upper connection portion 832 may increase rearwards. The top of the upper connection portion 832 may have a substantially constant height in the front and rear direction.
The shear force and flexure moment of an actual cantilever (C) type structure are formed to be the maximum primarily at a fixation end portion. Therefore, permanent deformation and breakage easily occur at the fixation end portion of the actual cantilever (C) type structure.
The bottom of the upper connection portion 832 may be lowered at a constant slope rearwards. That is, the vertical width of the upper connection portion 832 may increase downward rearwards. Therefore, the vertical width of the upper connection portion 832 may increase at a constant slope rearwards, and the center of figure of the upper connection portion 832 may be lowered at a constant slope rearwards. Therefore, the upper connection portion 832 may have a higher moment of inertia than the upper extension portion 831.
The moment of inertia is in proportion to a cross-sectional width, and is in proportion to a cubic of a cross-sectional height. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the upper connection portion 832 may increase rearwards. Therefore, the upper connection portion 832 may have a high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis. Further, the upper connection portion 832 may have high rigidity which is resistant to the permanent deformation and breakage.
In the cantilever (C) structure, the total drooping amount of the end of the cantilever C is in inverse proportion to the flexure rigidity of the cantilever C. The first internal cabinet 135 and the first external cabinet 126 constituting the upper body 130 are made of the plastic material. Further, since the first internal cabinet 135 and the first external cabinet 126 have an upper space formed therebetween, the first internal cabinet 135 and the first external cabinet 126 have a smaller thickness than the upper frame 830. Therefore, the upper body 130 has a smaller flexure rigidity than the upper frame 830. Therefore, as a distance by which the front surface of the upper frame 830 is spaced backward from the front surface of the upper body 130 increases, the drooping amount of the upper body 130 increases.
When the drooping of the upper frame 830 occurs, the lower frame 810 serves to fix and support the lower portion of the middle frame 820 against the moment generated in the middle frame 820. Therefore, the lower frame 810 may have only a solid coupling force to the lower body 110. Therefore, as the front surface of the lower frame 810 is spaced backward from the front surface of the lower body 110 by a predetermined interval, the drooping amount of the upper body 130 may not increase.
The upper frame 830 may extend more than the lower frame 810. In this case, a location where the upper frame 830 is coupled to the upper body 130 may be positioned in front of a location where the lower frame 810 is coupled to the lower body 110. The location where the upper frame 830 is coupled to the upper body 130 may mean a location of the hole 831a through which the upper frame 830 is coupled to the upper body 130 by the bolt. The location where the lower frame 810 is coupled to the lower body 110 may mean a location of the hole through which the lower frame 810 is coupled to the lower body 110 by the bolt. Therefore, the upper frame 830 and the upper body 130 have the solid coupling force while the front surface of the upper frame 830 is spaced to be small backward from the front surface of the upper body 130, and as a result, the drooping of the front end of the upper body 130 may be minimized.
The upper frame 810 may have the beam shape which is long in the front and rear direction. The (longitudinal and orthogonal) cross section of the lower frame 810 may have the substantially rectangular shape. The cross section of the lower frame 810 may have the symmetric shape based on the neutral axis passing through the center of figure in the Y-axis direction.
The lower frame 810 may have the recontouring grooves on the left surface and the right surface in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the cross section of the lower frame 810 may have a shape in which a part close to the center of figure based on the neutral axis passing through the center of figure in the Y-axis direction has a relatively small horizontal width and a part distant from the center of figure has a relatively large horizontal width. Therefore, the lower frame 810 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis even though the recontouring groove is formed in the longitudinal direction.
The lower frame 810 may have a plurality of lower ribs 813 inside the recontouring groove in the longitudinal direction in order to reinforce the rigidity. The lower ribs 813 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction (front and rear direction). The lower ribs 813 may connect the inner surface of the recontouring groove in the vertical direction. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the lower frame 813 is increased by the lower ribs 810, and as a result, the lower frame 810 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 based on the neutral axis.
A plurality of holes to which the bolts are screw-coupled may be formed on the bottom of the lower frame 810 in the longitudinal direction. The lower frame 810 may be fastened to a third external cabinet 114 by bolts passing through holes 114c of the third external cabinet 114.
The lower frame 810 may include a lower extension portion 811 and a lower connection portion 812.
The lower extension portion 811 may have the beam shape which is long in the front and rear direction. The (longitudinal and orthogonal) cross section of the lower extension portion 811 may have the substantially rectangular shape. The vertical width of the lower extension portion 811 may be substantially constant in the longitudinal direction.
The lower connection portion 812 is a part that connects the rear side of the lower extension portion 811 to the middle body 120. The vertical width of the lower connection portion 812 may increase rearwards. The bottom of the lower connection portion 812 may have a constant height in the front and rear direction.
The shear force and flexure moment of the actual cantilever (C) type structure are formed to be the maximum substantially at the fixation end portion. Therefore, permanent deformation and breakage easily occur at the fixation end portion of the actual cantilever (C) type structure.
The top of the lower connection portion 812 may be raised at a constant slope rearwards. That is, the vertical width of the lower connection portion 812 may increase upward rearwards. Therefore, the vertical width of the lower connection portion 812 may increase at a constant slope rearwards, and the center of figure of the lower connection portion 812 may be raised at a constant slope rearwards. Therefore, the lower connection portion 812 may have a higher moment of inertia than the lower extension portion 811.
The moment of inertia is in proportion to the cross-sectional width, and is in proportion to the cubic of the cross-sectional height. Therefore, the moment of inertia of the lower connection portion 812 may increase rearwards. Therefore, the lower connection portion 812 may have the high moment of inertia which is resistant to the drooping of the upper body 130 and flexure deformation of the middle body 120 based on the neutral axis. Further, the lower connection portion 812 may have high rigidity which is resistant to the permanent deformation and breakage.
The middle body 120 may include a second internal cabinet 124 and a second external cabinet 125. The second external cabinet 125 may be coupled to the second internal cabinet 124 by a plurality of bolts.
The second internal cabinet 124 may include a magnetic body plate 127 and a resin panel 126.
The resin panel 126 may form the rear surface of the accommodation space 10. The magnetic body plate 127 may be coupled to the rear surface of the resin panel 126.
The magnetic body plate 127 may be configured by a ferromagnetic body strongly magnetized in the direction of a magnetic field when the magnetic field is applied. As an example, the magnetic body plate 127 may be made of iron, cobalt, nickel, and an alloy thereof. Therefore, the magnetic body plate 127 may have an attraction by magnetic force with a permanent magnet coupled to an information sheet.
The lower body 110, the middle body 120, and the upper body 130 may be coupled to the frame body 800. The frame body 800 may be a component that forms a frame of the body 100. The strength of the body 100 may be reinforced by the frame body 800.
The frame body 800 as a part that is coupled to the body 100 and supports the body 100 in a shape of connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 may reinforce each connection portion of the body 100 which has a relatively vulnerable rigidity structurally.
A plurality of bosses 126a with female screws may be projected backward on the rear surface of the resin panel 126. A plurality of holes 822 into which the bolts are inserted may be formed in the middle frame 820. The middle frame 820 may be fastened to the boss 126a by the bolt.
An upper cover portion 126c covering an upper connection portion 832 may be formed above the resin panel 126. The upper cover portion 126c may be projected to cover the upper connection portion 832 on the front surface of the resin panel. Aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device 2 by the exposure of the upper connection portion 832 may be prevented by the upper cover portion 126c.

Insertion grooves 135g into which upper sides of the upper cover portion 126c and the upper connection portion 832 are inserted may be formed at a left side and a right side of the rear of the first internal cabinet 135. An entrance hole 10 through which the light of the second light 420 enters the accommodation space 10 may be formed in the rear of the first internal cabinet 135. The entrance hole 135h may be formed to be long in the horizontal direction between the insertion grooves 135g.
A plurality of holes to which the bolts are screw-coupled may be formed on the bottom of the lower frame 810 in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a plurality of through holes 114c through which the bolts pass may be formed in the third external cabinet 114. The bolt may be screw-coupled to the bottom of the lower frame 810 through the through hole 114c.

The third internal cabinet 113 and the third external cabinet 114 may have the coupling force by a simple hook coupling structure.
A lower cover portion 113c covering the lower connection portion 812 may be formed in the rear of the third internal cabinet 113. The lower cover portion 113c may be projected to cover the lower connection portion 812 on the top of the third internal cabinet 113. Aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device 2 by the exposure of the lower connection portion 812 may be prevented by the lower cover portion 113c.
The through hole 113d may be formed in the third internal cabinet 113. The reinforcing rib 114d may be formed in the third external cabinet 114. The reinforcing rib 114d may be inserted into the through hole 113d. The harness of the motor 290 may enter the inside of the lower body 110 through the through hole 113d. The reinforcing rib 114d is formed at a point where harness of the motor 290 enters the inside of the lower body 110 to form the rigidity at an entrance point.
A plurality of hooks 113e may be formed at the front, left, and right edges of the third internal cabinet 113. When the third internal cabinet 113 descends from the top of the third external cabinet 114, the hook 113e is locked to the locking hole 114e of the third external cabinet 114. The third internal cabinet 113 and the third external cabinet 114 may have the coupling force by the simple hook coupling structure.
A rib 228 may be formed along the edge on the bottom of the base 220. The rib 228 may assign the rigidity along the edge of the bottom of the base 220. The rib 228 may not be formed at the left and right sides of the rear of the base 220. Therefore, the rib 228 and the lower cover portion 113c may not interfere with each other at the first location of the moving body 200.
When the moving body 200 slidably moves between the first location and the second location, the harness of the motor 290 may move. In this case, the harness of the motor 290 may generate noise in contact with the bottom of the base 220 and the top of the third internal cabinet 113. Further, the harness of the motor 290 may be damaged by the friction force. A fixation hook 229 to which the harness of the motor 290 is locked may be formed on the bottom of the base 220. The friction of the harness of the motor 290, and the resulting noise and damage may be prevented by the fixation hook 229.

A pair of seating ribs 243 may be spaced forward from the rear end of the lower guard 240. Therefore, the seating rib 243 and the lower cover portion 113c may not interfere with each other at the first location of the moving body 200. A pair of seating ribs 243 may be provided at opposite locations based on the reference plane RP.
The base 220 may be seated on a pair of seating ribs 243. The through hole 243a may be formed in the seating rib 243. A plurality of fastening bosses 225 may be formed in the base 220.

The body 100 may include an upper body 130, a middle body 120, and a lower body 110.
The upper body 130 is positioned at an upper side of the accommodation space 10. The upper body 130 forms the upper surface of the accommodation space 10.

The ultraviolet rays as an electromagnetic wave in which a wavelength corresponds to 10 to 397 nm shorter than visible rays are light which has a strong chemical action and causes getting sunburn or discoloration.
As an example, an ultraviolet-proof film may be attached to an inner surface or an outer surface of the transparent window 210. Alternatively, the inner surface or the outer surface of the transparent window 210 may be UV-coated with an ultraviolet-proof agent.

When the moving body 200 is at the second location, both left and right sides at the upper side and both left and right sides at the lower side of the moving body 200 may be supported by the body 100.
The first window 211, the second window 212, and the third window 213 may have a small gap from the upper body 130. Therefore, external air may not be introduced into the accommodation space 10.
In the state in which the shoe S is accommodated in the accommodation space 10, a user may view the shoe S through the transparent window 210. As a result, the shoe care device 3 may be used as a device which may display the shoe S while keeping and caring the shoe S.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
In this case, an upper portion of the first window 212 is spaced to a front side in the first direction X from the front surface of the upper body 120 to form a gap (hereinafter, referred to as ‘first gap’). The third window 213 is spaced to the front side in the first direction X from a right side surface of the middle body 120 to form a gap (hereinafter, referred to as ‘third gap’).
In the state in which the moving body 200 moves in the first direction X as much as possible, i.e., in the state in which the moving body 200 is positioned relatively at a frontmost side, the moving body 200 may be present at a second location and the shoe care device 3 may be in the opened state.
The user may put the shoe S into the accommodation space 10 or withdraw the shoe S from the accommodation space 10 through the first gap.
The user may put a sheet (hereinafter, referred to as ‘information sheet’) indicating information into the accommodation space 10 or withdraw the shoe S from the accommodation space 10 through the first gap. The information may mean a set of broad-sense symbols such as letters, figures, or images. As an example, the information sheet may be a sheet printed with a photo, a picture, or a letter. The information sheet may be manufactured by various sheets such as a rectangle, a circle, etc.
One or more magnets may be provided in the information sheet. The information sheet may be coupled to or decoupled from the inner surface of the middle body 120 by the magnetic force.
The information sheet may be exposed to the vision of the person who sees the shoe S accommodated in the shoe care device 3. Therefore, the user of the shoe care device 3 may display the photo and the picture on the rear surface of the accommodation space 10 by attaching the information sheet onto the front surface of the middle body 120.
The turntable 230 may form the upper surface on which the shoe S is placed. The upper surface of the turntable 230 may have a circular shape. The turntable 220 may form the lower surface of the accommodation space 10 jointly with the base 220.
The turntable 230 may be rotatably coupled to the base 220 around a vertical axis 231, i.e., an axis parallel to a third direction Z.
For the rotation of the turntable 230, a motor 290 may be provided in the moving body 200. The vertical axis 231 may mean the rotational axis 231 of the motor 290. The motor 290 may be coupled to the bottom of the base 220. The turntable 230 may rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the motor 290. Rotational force of the motor 290 may be delivered to the turntable 230 through a reducer. The motor 290 may rotate unidirectionally or reciprocally rotate bidirectionally.
The turntable 230 is provided, and as a result, the shoe S may rotate in the accommodation space 10 or a display effect of the shoe S may be enhanced.
The shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a front frame 700. The front frame 700 may connect the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 at the front of the body 100. The front frame 700 may be positioned at the front of the body 100 regardless of the location of the moving body 200.
The front frame 700 may have a pipe shape which is long in the vertical direction. The front frame 700 may have a round bar shape which is long in the vertical direction. The front frame 700 may be manufactured by an aluminum alloy which is light and has a large rigidity. As an example, the front frame 700 may be manufactured by using an aluminum alloy to which silicon is added.
As described above, the body 100 is configured to include the upper body 130, the middle body 120, and the lower body 110, and as a result, the body 100 may form a substantially ‘C’ form on the side view. Therefore, in the body 100, a drooping phenomenon may occur at the front of the upper body 130 by the load of the upper body 130.
When a plurality of shoe care devices 3 is provided, any one shoe care device 3 may be placed on the upper surface of the upper body 130 of the other one shoe care device 3, and both the shoe care devices 3 may be stacked on each other. When the plurality of shoe care devices 3 are stacked on each other, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be rapidly progressed by the loads of one or more shoe care devices 3 which are stacked at the upper portion.
The drooping of the upper body 130 may serve as a cause of disturbing the aesthetics of the shoe care device 3. The front frame 700 may support the upper body 130 based on the lower body 110 at the front of the body 100. Therefore, a vertical interval between the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 may be maintained at the front of the body 100 by the front frame 700. That is, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be interrupted by the front frame 700. Therefore, the body 100 continuously maintains the ‘C’ shape on the side view, and as a result, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device 3 by the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be prevented.
As described above, the moving body 200 may be coupled to the lower body 110 to be slidably movable in the first direction X. In addition, the upper end of the transparent window 210 may have a small gap from the upper body 130. When the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 occurs, the gap between the upper end of the transparent window 210 and the upper body 130 decreases or converges, so the upper end of the transparent window 210 may be in contact with the upper body 130. Therefore, the drooping of the upper body 130 increases the opening force of the moving body 200 to serve as a main cause of disturbing the sliding movement of the moving body 200 between the first location (see
The front frame 700 may support the upper body 130 based on the lower body 110 at the front of the body 100. Therefore, a vertical interval between the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 may be maintained at the front of the body 100 by the front frame 700. That is, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be interrupted by the front frame 700. Therefore, the gap between the upper end of the transparent window 210 and the upper body 130 may be continuously maintained. Therefore, the increase in opening force of the moving body 200 by the drooping of the upper body 130 is interrupted, so the moving body 200 may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location (see
As described above, the base 220 may be positioned above the lower body 110. The base 220 may be positioned between the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 at the first location.
The front frame 700 may connect the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 inside the transparent window 210. Therefore, a flow portion hole 220h through which the front frame 700 passes in the vertical direction may be formed in the base 220. The flow portion hole 220h may penetrate the base 200 vertically.
The base 220 may be coupled to the lower body 110 to be slidably movable in the first direction X. Therefore, the flow portion hole 220h may be formed to be long in the first direction X. The moving body 200 may be movably coupled to the body 100 between the first location and the second location.
The front frame 700 may be positioned at the front of the flow portion hole 220h at the first location. The front frame 700 may be positioned at the rear of the flow portion hole 220h at the second location. Based on the moving body 200, the front frame 700 may relatively move forward and backward along the flow portion hole 220h between the first location and the second location.
A front inner surface of the flow portion hole 220h may be spaced apart from an outer surface of the front frame 700 by a predetermined interval at the first location (see
A rear inner surface of the flow portion hole 220h may be spaced apart from an outer surface of the front frame 700 by a predetermined interval at the second location (see
A first-direction length of the flow portion hole 220h may be larger than an interval between the first location (see
Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves between the first location and the second location, the increase in opening force of the moving body 200 by the interference between the front frame 700 and the base 220 may be interrupted. Therefore, the moving body 200 may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location (see
The shoe care device 3 may include an operating button 610 and a controller 600. The operating button 610 may be formed in the body 100. As an example, the operating button 610 may be formed on the front surface of the upper body 130.
When the user manipulates the operating button 610, the turntable 230 may rotate or stop. The user manipulates the operating button 610 to adjust a rotational speed of the turntable 230. The user may input a rotation time of the turntable 230 into the controller 600 through the operating button 610.
The body 100 may be configured to include the lower body 110 positioned below the accommodation space 10, and having the lower body groove 119 having a shape in which the front side is opened.
The moving body 200 may be configured to include the base 220 slidably coupled to the lower body 110, the turntable 230 rotatably coupled to the base 220 around the vertical axis 231, and forming the bottom of the accommodation space 10 jointly with the base 220, and the motor 290 placed in the lower body groove 119 and coupled to apply the rotational force to the turntable 230.
An extension line of the vertical axis 231 may be positioned within the reference plane RP which is parallel to the first direction X which is the horizontal direction and which is the vertical surface.
That is, the lower body groove 119 which is concave downward and opened forward is formed at the central portion of the lower body 110 to prevent interference with the body 100 in the process of the sliding movement of the moving body 200.
In particular, the motor 290 also needs to be coupled to the base 220 in order to rotate the turntable 230 coupled to the base 220 of the moving body 200, and it may be preferable to place the motor 290 below the base 220 in appearance.
Therefore, when the motor 290 is placed below the base 220, it may be more preferable to place the motor 290 at the lower body groove 119 so as to prevent the motor 290 from interfering with the body 100 in the process of the sliding movement of the moving body 200.
As such, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment, since the motor 290 applying the rotational force to the turntable 230 is placed at the lower body groove 119 formed in the lower body 110, the motor 290 may be prevented from interfering in the body 100 in the process of the sliding movement of the moving body 200.
The moving body 200 forms the accommodation space 10 jointly with the body 100. The moving body 200 may be movably coupled to the body 100 between the first location and the second location. The second location is a location before the first location. The moving body 200 may be coupled to the body 100 to be movable forward and backward with respect to the body 100.
When the moving body 200 is at the first location, the accommodation space 10 is closed and when the moving body 200 is at the second location, the accommodation space 10 is opened.
When the moving body 200 is at the second location, the accommodation space 10 of the shoe care device 3 is opened at the upper side, the left side, and the right side.
When the moving body 200 moves forward and backward with respect to the body 100, the moving body 200 may be supported by the lower body 110 and the upper body 130.
When the moving body 200 is at the first location, both left and right sides at the upper side and both left and right sides at the lower side of the moving body 200 are supported by the body 100. When the moving body 200 is at the second location, both left and right sides at the upper side and both left and right sides at the lower side of the moving body 200 may be supported by the body 100.

The resin panel 126 may form the rear surface of the accommodation space. The magnetic body plate 127 may be coupled to the rear surface of the resin panel 126.
The magnetic body plate 127 may be configured by a ferromagnetic body strongly magnetized in the direction of a magnetic field when the magnetic field is applied. As an example, the magnetic body plate 127 may be made of iron, cobalt, nickel, and an alloy thereof. Therefore, the magnetic body plate 127 may have an attraction by magnetic force with a permanent magnet coupled to an information sheet.
The lower body 110, the middle body 120, and the upper body 130 may be coupled to the frame body 800. The frame body 800 may be a component that forms a frame of the body 100. The strength of the body 100 may be reinforced by the frame body 800.
The frame body 800 as a part that is coupled to the body 100 and supports the body 100 in a shape of connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 may reinforce each connection portion of the body 100 which has a relatively vulnerable rigidity structurally.
As described above, in order to for the moving body 200 to slidably move with respect to the body 100, the front surface of the body 100 needs to be opened to correspond to the shape of the moving body 200. Therefore, the body 100 should be formed in a structure to approximately support even a load applied to the opened front surface at portions other than the front surface.
However, in that the body 100 has various components placed therein, and it is possible to form the size or the rigidity to be unlimitedly large, it is necessary to reinforce a structurally vulnerable portion with a separate reinforcing member.
In particular, when the body 100 is formed in a shape in which the front surface is opened, it is necessary to support even the load applied to the front surface on the reaming upper surface, lower surface, and the rear surface, so it may be preferable to reinforce each connection portion of the parts.
As such, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is coupled to the body 100 in a shape connecting the upper surface, the lower surface, and the rear surface of the body 100 to support the body 100, the shoe care device 3 may maintain a stable state by reinforcing a structural vulnerable part in the body 100.
In the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be configured to include an upper frame 830 coupled to the upper body 130, a lower frame 810 coupled to the lower body 110, and a middle frame 820 connecting rear sides of the upper frame 830 and the lower frame 810 and coupled to the middle body 120.
A plurality of bosses 126a with female screws may be projected backward on the rear surface of the resin panel 126 (see
The plurality of bosses with the female screws may be projected upward in the first internal cabinet 135. The upper frame 830 may be fastened to the boss by the bolt.
The plurality of bosses with the female screws may be projected upward in the third external cabinet 114. The lower frame 810 may be fastened to the boss by the bolt.
The body 100 in which the lower body 110, the middle body 120, and the upper body 130 are combined is configured in the C shape when viewed from the side, so the body 100 may form three surfaces of the shoe care device 3 in the 3D space.
In that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever structure formed to be projected from the middle body 120, if the middle body 120 does not appropriately support the upper body 130, there may be a problem in that the front end of the upper body 130 is drooped.
In that there is a structural limit to support the upper body 130 only with the middle body 120, it may be preferable to reinforce the connection portion of the lower body 110 and the middle body 120 through the frame body 800, and then reinforce both the middle body 120 and the upper body 130 through the frame body 800.
Therefore, it may be preferable to achieve reinforcement in a structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 of the body 100 to each other through the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 of the frame body 800.
That is, the frame body 800 may also be formed in the C shape when viewed from the side, so it is possible to reinforce the structural vulnerable portion of the body 100 formed in the C shape.
As such, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 is configured to include the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820, the vulnerable portion of the body 100 may be reinforced in the structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 to each other.
In the shoe care device 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 may be formed by bending one member which is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction.
In the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment, since the frame body 800 including the upper frame 830, the lower frame 810, and the middle frame 820 is formed by bending one member which is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction, the frame body 800 may be easily manufactured, and a cutting surface of the frame body 800 corresponding to a reinforcing member may be minimized.
In the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the frame body 800 may be placed inside the body 100. Since the frame body 800 is placed not to be exposed to the outside, the aesthetics may be visually provided by minimizing the exposure of a member not directly related to the function of the shoe care device 3.
In the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of frame bodies 800 may be placed in the left and right direction of the body 100.
The frame body 800 may include a first frame body 800A and a second frame body 800B. The first frame body 800A may be placed at the left side of the body 100. The second frame body 800B may be placed at the right side of the body 100.
It may be preferable to place the frame body 800 on an entire surface of the body 100 in order to reinforce the vulnerable portion of the body 100, but such a structure is uneconomical and there is a risk of increasing the load of the shoe care device 3.
Therefore, placing the first frame body 800A and the second frame body 800B at a predetermined interval within a range to securing the structural stability may be most effective by considering the structural rigidity and the economics of the product.
In this case, in order to prevent deformation such as structural distortions according to the rigidity imbalance of the shoe care device 3, it may be preferable that the first frame body 800A and the second frame body 800B are placed symmetric in the left and right direction of the body 100.
As such, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment, since the plurality of frame bodies 800 are placed in the left and right direction of the body 100 to reinforce the body 100, the body 100 may be structurally reinforced more uniformly and stably.
However, even though the frame body 800 reinforces the vulnerable part of the body 100 by the structure of connecting the upper body 130, the lower body 110, and the middle body 120 to each other, the drooping amount of the front end of the upper body 130 is just reduced, and the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may not be fundamentally interrupted in that the upper body 130 is a kind of cantilever structure which is formed to be projected from the middle body 120.
In particular, when a plurality of shoe care devices 3 is provided, any one shoe care device 3 may be placed on the upper surface of the upper body 130 of the other one shoe care device 3, and both the shoe care devices 3 may be stacked on each other. When the plurality of shoe care devices 3 are stacked on each other, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be rapidly progressed by the loads of one or more shoe care devices 3 which are stacked at the upper portion.
The shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a front frame 700. The front frame 700 may connect the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 at the front of the body 100. The front frame 700 may be positioned at the front of the body 100 regardless of the location of the moving body 200.
The front frame 700 may support the upper body 130 based on the lower body 110 at the front of the body 100. Therefore, a vertical interval between the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 may be maintained at the front of the body 100 by the front frame 700. Therefore, the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be completely interrupted by the front frame 700.
The front frame 700 may include a first front frame 710 and a second front frame 720.
The first front frame 71 may connect the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 at the front of the left side of the body 100. The second front frame 720 may connect the lower body 110 and the upper body 130 at the front of the right side of the body 100. Therefore, each corner portion of the upper body 130 may have the same height based on the lower body 110. Therefore, the body 100 continuously maintains the ‘C’ shape on the side view, and as a result, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device 3 by the drooping phenomenon of the upper body 130 may be prevented. Further, the increase in opening force of the moving body 200 by the drooping of the upper body 130 is interrupted, so the moving body 200 may continuously maintain the same opening force between the first location (see

The cover portion 256 is a part that covers the flow portion hole 220h at the first location and the second location. The cover portion 256 may form a flat plate form connecting the first inclination portion 254 and the second inclination portion 255.
A cover pin portion 256a1 and a connection axis portion 256a2 may be formed at a left end portion and a right end portion of the cover portion 256. One long pin 256a may be coupled to the left end portion or the right end portion of the cover portion 256, and the cover pin portion 256a1 and the connection axis portion 256a2 may be formed as a part of the pin 256a.

Similarly to this, when the second flip cover 250B is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the second flip cover 250B may be used as the first flip cover 250A.
That is, when the first flip cover 250A is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the first inclination portion 254 of the first flip cover 250A may be used as the second inclination portion 255 of the second flip cover 250B.

When the moving body 200 is positioned at the first location (see
The first inclination portion 254 is in contact with the front frame 700 below the rotational axis of the flip cover 250, i.e., the cover pin portion 256a1 (see
A contact surface of the first inclination portion 254 which contacts the front frame 700 may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 as going backward. Therefore, when the moving body 200 moves forward at the first location (see
The contact surface of the first inclination portion 254 which contacts the front frame 700 is connected to the cover portion 256 at the rear end of the first inclination portion 254. A contact surface of the cover portion 256 which is in contact with the front frame 700 may be in line with the front and rear direction. That is, the contact surface of the cover portion 256 which is in contact with the front frame 700 may form the same distance from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 in the front and rear direction. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves from the first location (see
The second inclination portion 255 may form a symmetric structure to the first inclination portion 254 based on a YZ plane. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves from the first location (see
Finally, when the moving body 200 is positioned at the second location, the front frame 700 and the flip cover 250 do not physically interfere with each other. Therefore, when the moving body 200 is positioned at the second location, the flip cover 250 may cover the flow portion hole 220h on the bottom of the base 220.
Meanwhile, when the moving body 200 moves backward at the second location (see
A contact surface of the second inclination portion 255 which contacts the front frame 700 may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 as going forward. Therefore, when the moving body 200 moves backward at the second location, a movement distance of the moving body 200 increases, so a rotational angle of the flip cover 250 may increase. When the moving body 200 moves backward at the second location, the rotational angle of the flip cover 250 may become the maximum (hereinafter, referred to as ‘maximum rotational angle’) at the front end of the second inclination portion 255.
The contact surface of the second inclination portion 255 which contacts the front frame 700 is connected to the cover portion 255 at the front end of the second inclination portion 255. A contact surface of the cover portion 256 which is in contact with the front frame 700 may be in line with the front and rear direction. That is, the contact surface of the cover portion 256 which is in contact with the front frame 700 may form the same distance from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 in the front and rear direction. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves from the second location to the first location (see
As described above, the second inclination portion 255 may form the symmetric structure to the first inclination portion 254 based on the YZ plane. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves from the second location to the first location (see
Finally, when the moving body 200 is positioned at the first location (see
When the flow portion hole 220h is formed in the base 220, various foreign substances such as outdoor air, dust, moisture, etc., may be introduced through the flow portion hole 220h, and this may serve as an inference factor in constantly maintaining an environment of the accommodation space 10. Further, when the flow portion hole 220h is formed in the base 220, the top of the lower body 110 may be exposed to the outside through the flow portion hole 220h. The top of the lower body 110 may have multiple curves by placement of multiple components such as the power supply placed inside the lower body 110. Therefore, the exposure of the lower body 110 through the flow portion hole 220h may serve as a primary factor of disturbing an interior effect of the shoe care device 3.
As described above, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the flip cover 250 may be pushed by the front frame 700 and rotated to open the flow portion hole 220h between the first location and the second location. Therefore, the lower side of the flow portion hole 220h is just exposed through the flow portion hole 220h only in the process of opening or closing the shoe care device 3, and the flow portion hole 220h maintains the closed state by the flip cover 250 at the first location and the second location of the moving body 200. Therefore, the environment of the accommodation space 10 may be constantly maintained in the state of accommodating the shoes. Further, the aesthetics reduction of the shoe care device 3 by the exposure of the top of the lower body 110 may be prevented.
Further, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the contact surface of the first inclination portion 254 which contacts the front frame 700 may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 as going backward. In addition, the contact surface of the second inclination portion 255 which contacts the front frame 700 may be distant from the rotational axis of the flip cover 250 as going forward. Therefore, in the process in which the moving body 200 moves between the first location and the second location, the flip cover 250 gradually rotates to open and close the flow portion hole 220h. Therefore, the flip cover 250 is easily rotated to minimize the increase of the opening force of the shoe care device 3 by the rotation of the flip cover 250.
Further, in the shoe care device 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the first flip cover 250A is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the first flip cover 250A may be used as the second flip cover 250B. Similarly to this, when the second flip cover 250B is rotated at 180 degrees around the Z axis, the second flip cover 250B may be used as the first flip cover 250A. That is, the first flip cover 250A and the second flip cover 250B may be manufactured to have the same shape. Therefore, the flip cover 250 is easily manufactured and assembled to minimize the increase in production cost and the increase in production man-hours.
The moving body 200 may be configured to include a lower guard 240. The lower guard 240 is fixedly coupled to an outer side of a border of the base 220. The lower guard 240 is fixedly coupled to a front surface 220b, a left surface 220c, and a right surface 220d of the base 220.
