Apparatus for inspecting shoes and method for inspecting shoes using the same

A shoe inspection apparatus for detecting hidden or dangerous substances, the shoe inspection apparatus comprising:

• an inspection unit configured to accommodate an inspection subject;
• a transmission unit configured to emit electromagnetic waves toward the inspection subject accommodated in the inspection unit;
• a reception unit configured to receive the electromagnetic wave reflected from the inspection subject;
• an injection unit configured to inject a fluid toward a bottom part of the inspection subject accommodated in the inspection unit;
• a suction unit configured to suction a material separated from the bottom part of the inspection subject together with the fluid;
• and
• an analysis unit configured to analyze a component of the material introduced into the suction unit and the electromagnetic wave received by the reception unit,
• wherein the injection unit comprises a first injection unit and a second injection unit,
• wherein the suction unit comprises a first suction unit and a second suction unit,
• wherein the first injection unit and the first suction unit spaced apart in a first direction,
• wherein the second injection unit and the second suction unit spaced apart in a second direction that is intersecting with the first direction,
• wherein the inspection unit disposed between the first injection unit and the first suction unit, and disposed between the second injection unit and the second suction unit,
• wherein microfluidic channels are provided on an upper surface of the inspection unit,
• wherein the microfluidic channels comprise trenches defined on the upper surface of the inspection unit respectively, and
• wherein the trenches extend in the first direction.
