Devices and methods related to drying absorbent articles with water reactive materials are generally described.

An electronic device for controlling a flow path according to deodorization, dehumidification, or sterilization of clothes or shoes by applying a separated chamber structure, and an operation method thereof. The electronic device may control an internal damper so that in a deodorization mode, the internal damper operates in a first state to form independent flow paths in an upper chamber and a lower chamber and, in a dehumidification mode, the internal damper operates in a second state for a preset time to form a single flow path in the upper chamber and the lower chamber and, after the preset time elapses, operate in the first state to form independent flow paths in the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

A highly portable, self-contained, multiple-item drying system that directs an antibacterial warmed air flow stream through a series of separate flexible, expandable, conduits (hoses) to provide an efficient, inexpensive, uncomplicated drying, sanitizing, deodorizing, and heating apparatus.

The present invention provides methods and systems for a portable modular drying device that includes a distributing manifold for receiving a blower device that distributes air through the device, and at least one drying manifold having a first end, a second end, and at least one opening between the first end and the second end for distributing the drying air selectively secured to the distributing manifold. The device further includes at least one drying hose or glove tube selectively secured to the at least one opening of the at least one drying manifold.

An air tube of a shoe dryer is provided. A top of the air tube has at least one air outlet. An air passage is formed in the air tube. A top surface of the air tube is provided with at least one support rib. At least one guide passage is provided on an outer side wall of the air tube or inside the air tube. The guide passage is independent of the air passage of the air tube. The air tube of the shoe dryer can prevent the backflow of warm air when the air tube is in operation and improve the convective drying efficiency.
