Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable shoe dryer, comprising a portable case having an internal space capable of accommodating shoes, and a blower module mounted on one side of the portable case so as to be exposed to the outside and positioned to enter the internal space of the portable case to blow drying air onto shoes stored within the internal space. The blower module is coupled to the portable case and has an external air inlet formed to allow external air to enter, and has a built-in blower fan that blows drying air into the internal space of the portable case through a lower discharge port. It also comprises a blower housing having a circulation hole formed on a side located within the internal space of the portable case for the air within the internal space to enter, an operating unit capable of setting a shoe drying mode, and a control unit that controls the operation of the blower fan when the shoe drying mode is set by the operating unit. According to such a portable shoe dryer, the shoe drying process can be performed while shoes are stored within the internal space, and the advantage of providing convenience for portability and movement is provided.

  5. A portable shoe dryer according to claim 3, further comprising a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature within the internal space; wherein the control unit processes the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor during the process of performing the shoe drying mode to be displayed through a display unit provided to be exposed to the outside of the blower housing.

Description

Portable shoe dryer The present invention relates to a portable shoe dryer, and more specifically, to a portable shoe dryer capable of drying shoes stored within an internal space while being portable. Generally, shoes are designed to be worn on the feet to protect them by preventing the soles of the feet from coming into direct contact with the ground while walking, thereby preventing skin damage. These shoes have poor breathability, so sweat from the feet can lead to the proliferation of disease-causing bacteria inside the shoe or emit a severe odor. To address the practical issues associated with the use of such shoes, various shoe drying devices are being developed and marketed. Korean registered patents No. 10-2358023 and No. 10-1193139 propose shoe dryers with a structure that dries shoes by being inserted inside them. However, these shoe dryers have the disadvantage of being unable to perform the drying process while the shoes are stored in a shielded state from the outside. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a portable shoe dryer according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the internal space of the portable case of FIG. 1 in an open state, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which shoes are stored in the portable case of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the blower module of FIG. 1 extracted and illustrated, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the blower module of FIG. 4, and Figure 6 is a block diagram showing the control system of the portable shoe dryer of Figure 1. Hereinafter, a portable shoe dryer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a portable shoe dryer according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the internal space of the portable case of FIG. 1 in an open state, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the state in which shoes are stored in the portable case of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the blower module of FIG. 1 in an extracted manner, FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the blower module of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the control system of the portable shoe dryer of FIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a portable shoe dryer (100) according to the present invention comprises a portable case (110) and a blower module (150). The portable case (110) has an internal space (114) capable of accommodating shoes inside, and the internal space (114) is designed to be openable and closable. The portable case (110) has a structure comprising a lower case (111) having a lower internal space that is open at the top and retracted downward, and an upper case (113) which is partially connected at the top of the lower case (111), has an upper internal space that is open at the bottom and retracted upward, and is interlocked with or separated from the lower case (111). In the illustrated example, a structure is shown in which the upper case (113) can be closely connected to the lower case (111) by mutual fitting along an edge line (115) that is in close contact with each other. It is also known that, unlike the illustrated example, a structure in which the upper case (113) is connected and separated by a zipper along the edge line (115) can be applied. The portable case (110) can be formed from a material that can maintain its shape. The blower module (150) is mounted on one side of the portable case (110) so as to be exposed to the outside and is mounted so as to be inserted into the internal space (114) of the portable case (110) to blow drying air to the shoes (10) stored in the internal space (114). The blower module (150) is equipped with a blower housing (160), an operating unit (181), a display unit (183), a light source unit (192), a heater (186), a sterilization unit (194), and a control unit (190). The blower housing (160) is installed so as to be connected to the upper surface of the upper case (113) of the portable case (110) and extend downward so as to enter into the internal space (114). The blower housing (160) has a mounting space and is formed in the shape of a square box to support internal circulation and external air intake. An external air inlet (162) is formed in the portion exposed on the upper surface of the upper case (113) of the portable case (110) of the blower housing (160) to allow external air to flow in. The blower housing (160) has a ventilation passage formed therein, through which outside air introduced through the outside air inlet (162) is introduced into the internal space (114) by the operation of the blower fan (171) described later, and then discharged through a plurality of mutually spaced lower discharge ports (165). The lower discharge ports (165) are formed at positions opposite to the entrances of each of the two shoes (10). Additionally, the blower housing (160) has a blower fan (171) bu
