Abstract
A shoe disinfecting device of the present disclosure may comprise a base, an interior compartment configured to hold a liquid disinfecting solution, at least one shoe wiping assembly including a tray and at least one absorbent pad, a first sensor configured to generate output signals representing a liquid content level of the tray, and a controller. The tray may include a recess having at least one channel defined therein. The controller may include a liquid disinfecting solution control mode configured to receive the output signals from the first sensor and, based on a comparison between the measured liquid content level and a target liquid content level, to selectively pump the liquid disinfecting solution from the interior compartment of the base via at least a liquid pump and into the channel of the shoe wiping assembly.
Claims20
A shoe disinfecting device, comprising:
- a base having a first end configured for placement on the floor;
- an interior compartment defined within the base, the interior compartment configured to hold a liquid disinfecting solution;
- at least one shoe wiping assembly positioned on the base, the shoe wiping assembly including:
- a tray having peripheral side walls extending upwardly to define a recess, the recess including at least one channel defined therein, the channel in fluid communication with the interior compartment of the base via at least a liquid pump;
- at least one absorbent pad positioned at least partially within the recess of the tray;
- a first sensor configured to generate output signals representing a liquid content level of the tray;
- a reference sensor configured to generate output signals representing a baseline liquid content level;
- and
- a controller including a liquid disinfecting solution control mode configured to:
- receive the output signals from the first sensor and the reference sensor;
- calibrate the first sensor based on the baseline liquid content level;
- and
- based on a comparison between the measured liquid content level and a target liquid content level, to selectively pump the liquid disinfecting solution from the interior compartment of the base via at least the liquid pump and into the channel of the shoe wiping assembly.

- a status indicator;
- and
- a controller including a liquid disinfecting solution control mode configured to:
- receive the output signals from the first sensor;
- based on a comparison between the measured liquid content level and a target liquid content level, to selectively pump the liquid disinfecting solution from the interior compartment of the base via at least the liquid pump and into the channel of the shoe wiping assembly;
- and
- to indicate a first status when the tray reaches the target liquid content level.
