DRYING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

A shoe care device includes an inner cabinet, an air supply device that is configured to blow air to an accommodated space of the inner cabinet and includes a plurality of dehumidifying materials separate from one another, and a controller configured to control the air supply device. The air supply device includes a connection path configured to circulate air between an inlet and an outlet of the inner cabinet, and a regeneration path branched from the connection path and configured to guide air having passed through at least one of the dehumidifying materials to a portion of the air supply device other than the inlet. The controller is configured to control the air supply device to selectively open and close at least one of the connection path or the regeneration path based on whether or not at least one of the dehumidifying materials is heated.

SHOE CARE APPARATUS

A shoe care apparatus may include a cabinet; a care chamber inside the cabinet; a machine room to supply air to the care chamber and including an inlet through which air is introducible and an outlet through which air is dischargeable, so as to allow air to circulate the care chamber and the machine room through a flow path. A recovery chamber may be configured to allow air from the care chamber to be guided to the inlet of the machine room and be introduced into the machine room. A fragrance emitter holder in the recover chamber may accommodate a fragrance emitter configured to add fragrance to the air from the care chamber that is guided through the recovery chamber, so that the air to which the fragrance is added by the fragrance emitter is supplied to the care chamber through the flow path.

CABINET WITH BENDABLE DRYING DEVICE

The invention is directed to a drying device comprising a base with a pair of arms adjustably attached to each side of the base. The arms are angled inward relative to the base, allowing them to adapt to a wide variety of footwear. The underside of each base includes one or more magnets that removably attach the device to a conventional dryer. Each base includes one or more apertures that promote air flow when the device is in use. In use, the footwear remains compressed on the walls of the drying device via the magnets. After the drying cycle has been completed, the footwear is dried on the exterior and interior surface.

STRUCTURE FOR DRYER DUCT
20230380658 · 2023-11-30 ·

An improved structure for a dryer duct, in which a center of the duct is an air intake channel; a top surface of the duct extends forward to form a top baffle; the top baffle is positioned above the air intake channel, and an air outlet of the air intake channel is positioned on an outer wall of the air intake channel; the air outlet is positioned below the top baffle. Dripping water is prevented from flowing into the air intake channel of the duct while the dryer is working, thereby avoiding short circuits or electrical leakage of the internal electrical components and ensuring safety and proper functioning of the dryer.

VACUUM CLEANER
20220211234 · 2022-07-07 ·

Provided is a vacuum cleaner. The switching valve apparatus of the vacuum cleaner includes an outer casing and a counterflow air passage. The outer casing is provided with a first vent opening and a second vent opening arranged side by side along the circumferential direction of the outer casing. In the case where the counterflow air passage is at the first angular position, the outer casing seals the counterflow air outlet of the counterflow air passage; in the case where the counterflow air passage is at the second angular position, the counterflow air outlet communicates with the first vent opening and is staggered with the second vent opening; and in the case where the counterflow air passage is at the third angular position, the counterflow air outlet communicates with the second vent opening and is staggered with the first vent opening.

SHOE MANAGEMENT DEVICE

A shoe management device has a housing forming an exterior appearance, an inner space provided inside of a housing body of the housing, and a cover to open or close the housing body. A shoe may be provided inside of the inner space, and dust and foreign matter on the shoe may be removed by agitators and an air flow provided by an air generator. In addition, moisture and germs inside the shoe are removed by hot air, an ultraviolet ray, and plasma ions provided by a care device.

SHOE MANAGEMENT DEVICE
