A shoe management apparatus including a cabinet including an inner space for storing shoes, an exhaust port disposed at a rear surface of the inner space and discharging air into the inner space, and a front discharge port disposed at an upper surface of the cabinet and discharging air from the inner space to outside of the shoe management apparatus.

Shoe management apparatus

A shoe management apparatus includes a first management apparatus, including a first inner space and an electric compartment disposed below the first inner space for dehumidifying air introduced into the electric compartment, and removing foreign matter from the shoes stored in the first inner space; and a second management apparatus disposed above the first management apparatus, including a second inner space for storing a shoe, and for adjusting humidity of the second inner space using air discharged from the electric compartment.

A shoe management apparatus includes a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving a shoe therein, a first supply portion including a duct for guiding flow of a fluid, and a second supply portion connected to the first supply portion, extending in a longitudinal direction of the first supply portion and angled towards the receiving portion, the second supply portion receiving the fluid from the first supply portion and directing the fluid to the shoe.

A shoe management apparatus including a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving a shoe therein, a first supply portion for guiding a fluid flow and extending towards the receiving space, and a second supply portion at least partially disposed inside the first supply portion and protruding in a longitudinal direction of the first supply portion to supply a fluid into the shoe.

A shoe management apparatus including a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving shoes therein, a first supply portion for guiding flow of a fluid towards the receiving portion, the first supply portion including a stationary duct disposed above the receiving space, a flexible duct connected to the stationary duct and able to rotate to change shape, a rotatable duct connected to the flexible duct and a first driver connected to the rotatable duct and for generating a rotational force to rotate the rotatable duct.

A shoe treating apparatus including a shelf part including at least one shelf, a motor part configured to control tilting of the at least one shelf, a sensor part including at least one sensor, and a processor electrically connected to the motor part and the sensor part is provided. The processor may identify an approach of a user by using the at least one sensor, and, based on the identified user approach, generate a control signal for adjusting a tilt angle of the at least one shelf to adjust the tilting of the at least one shelf. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

Apparatus and method for treating shoes

A shoe treating apparatus including a sensor part including at least one sensor, a motor part configured to control tilting of at least one shelf, and a processor electrically connected to the sensor part and the motor part is provided. The processor may identify an approach of a user by using the at least one sensor, and may generate, based on the identified user approach, a control signal for adjusting a tilt speed of the at least one shelf. Also, the processor may transmit the generated control signal to the motor part to adjust the tilt speed of the at least one shelf. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe treating apparatus includes an upper cabinet, a lower cabinet disposed below the upper cabinet, an electronic component part disposed below the lower cabinet, a sensor part, and a processor electrically connected to the electronic component part and the sensor part. The processor may identify at least one of a material, a type, and a condition of at least one shoe in the upper cabinet, and based on the identification, perform normal treatment on the at least one shoe in the upper cabinet through the electronic component part. The processor may identify at least one of a material, a type, and a condition of at least one shoe in the lower cabinet, and based on the identification, perform intensive treatment on the at least one shoe in the lower cabinet through the electronic component part. A method of operating the shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe management apparatus including a cabinet defining an inner space for storing shoes, an exhaust port disposed at a rear surface of the inner space and discharging air into the inner space, and a circulation filter disposed on an inner wall of the cabinet and for filtering air within the inner space of the cabinet, the circulation filter including an upper portion including a first opening and a lower portion including a second opening, the lower portion being disposed below the upper portion.

A shoe treating apparatus having a cabinet including at least one storage space, a rotatable duct part disposed in an upper portion of the storage space and configured to rotate toward the interior of the storage space, a treatment part configured to provide treatment on a shoe, and a processor configured to control an operation of the rotatable duct part and electrically connected to the treatment part is provided. The processor may, based on detecting a shoe in the storage space, rotate the rotatable duct part toward the interior of the detected shoe and may control treatment on the detected shoe through the rotatable duct part after the rotatable duct part is rotated toward the interior of the detected shoe. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe management apparatus capable of managing various types of shoes and including a cabinet defining an inner space for storing shoes; and a partition dividing the inner space into an upper first compartment and a lower second compartment, formed therein with a fluid path along which air is discharged into the inner space, and variable in length with respect to a front-to-rear direction of the shoe management apparatus.
