The present disclosure discloses a telescopic shoe drying device comprises a body, and a heater connected to the body. The body comprises a base and a heat supply pipe, the heat supply pipe is disposed on the base, hot air generated by the heater is transported out of the heat supply pipe, the heat supply pipe comprises an inner pipe, an outer pipe, and a locking mechanism. When the at least two locking bases are in the extended position, the locking mechanism is in a locked state and locks the outer pipe and the inner pipe. When the at least two locking bases are in the retracted position, the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state and the outer pipe and the inner pipe are configured to relatively move up and down

Portable assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a housing; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to or inserted into the housing, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The assemblies may include a handle or strap for transporting the assemblies. The air may be provided by a fan or blower, and may be heated. The projections can be pivotally mounted in different directions and extend and retract into the housing. The retracted projection may be flush with the surface of the housing when not in use.

A shoe care apparatus includes: a chamber including an air inlet and an air outlet; a first duct connected to the air outlet; an evaporator inside the first duct; a condenser inside the first duct; a second duct connecting the first duct to the air inlet; a holder in the chamber and connected to the air inlet; a first fan that circulate airs through the first duct, the second duct, the holder, and the chamber; a compressor inside a machine room of the shoe care apparatus, the compressor that discharges a refrigerant to the condenser; a second fan inside the machine room and that allows air in the machine room to flow; a temperature sensor that measures an outside air temperature; and a processor, wherein the processor controls an operation of the second fan based on the outside air temperature and an operation state of the compressor.

The invention relates to a drying installation, in particular for drying objects such as items of clothing and equipment items, wherein the objects can be suspended or placed on drying hangers (11, 12), and wherein the drying hangers (11, 12) are arranged in a thermally insulated, heatable drying cabinet (1) which, in addition, is heatable.

Disclosed herein is a sterilization and drying device. The sterilization and drying device includes: a body configured to be coupled to the inside of a sterilization target, and to suck and discharge internal air of the sterilization target; a silicon carbide honeycomb heater installed inside the body, and configured to sterilize, purify, dry, and heat the sucked air and discharge the sterilized, purified, dried, and heated air; an air circulation fan installed behind the silicon carbide honeycomb heater, and configured such that the internal air of the sterilization target is sucked, passed through the silicon carbide honeycomb heater, and then discharged; and a battery installed on one side of the air circulation fan, and configured to supply power to the silicon carbide honeycomb heater and the air circulation fan.

A smart oven includes a box body unit, a heating unit and a feed unit. The box body unit includes a box body that has a first inner wall surface, two second inner wall surfaces, two third inner wall surfaces, and a heating chamber having a chamber opening that faces downward. The heating unit includes a plurality of upper radiation heating lamps disposed above the chamber opening, and a plurality of outer radiation heating lamps disposed in proximity to the second and third inner wall surfaces. The feed unit includes a carrier platform that is movable relative to the box body between a material-placing position and a material-operating position, in which the carrier platform is distal from and closes the chamber opening, respectively.

A shoe care apparatus according to one aspect includes a chamber for accommodating shoes; a heat pump device including a condenser for heating air to be supplied to the chamber, and a compressor for discharging a coolant to the condenser; a fan for supplying the heated air to the chamber; a temperature sensor for acquiring the temperature of the air to be supplied to the chamber; and a controller. The controller performs a synchronous operation mode controlling the compressor and the fan to operate together, based on receipt of a signal from the temperature sensor, and performs an asynchronous operation mode in which the fan is operated without operating the compressor in response to a predetermined time period having elapsed after the stop of the operation of the compressor.

Devices, systems and methods for cleaning and disinfecting footwear items are disclosed herein. In an aspect, an apparatus is disclosed comprising an ultraviolet light element configured to emit ultraviolet light toward a top covering element configured to receive one or more contaminated item, wherein the ultraviolet light element is located within a lower frame element. In another aspect, a grating element is disclosed comprising a frame of bars configured to support the one or more contaminated item; wherein the grating element is a ceiling enclosure portion of the lower frame element. In yet another aspect, a brush frame element mounted to an underside of the grating element is disclosed, wherein the brush frame element comprises a set of brush strips configured to protrude through at least one space between the frame bars.

A shoe-washing device capable of efficiently dewatering cleaned shoes. The shoe-washing device includes: an accommodating chamber supplied with cleaning fluid; a plurality of holding parts each being hollow and having an opening part, the opening parts of the holding parts are inserted into an inner space of a shoes from toplines of the shoes inside the accommodating chamber such that the shoe are held in such a manner that the toplines face a lower side and the opening parts faces the inner space of the shoes; a pipe connected to the holding part; and an air supply part for supplying air into the holding parts through the pipe.
