More specifically, when a user needs to disinfect his hands, he places his hands under the infrared sensor 14. When the infrared sensor 14 detects a human body, the shielding component 12 immediately operates to remove the shielding of the disinfection chamber 11. The user can extend his hands into the disinfection chamber 11. After a time delay, the height control component 4 controls the liquid outlet component 3 to move downward. At the same time, the height control component 4 will drive the closing component 6 to operate to remove the shielding of the extension port 5. The bottom end of the liquid outlet component 3 will pass through the extension port 5. Then the liquid outlet component 3 will operate to spray the hand-free disinfectant on the user's hands. At the same time, the height control component Component 4 will drive the protection component 9 to operate and shield the sterilization lamp 8 to prevent the disinfectant from splashing onto the surface of the sterilization lamp 8. After the disinfection is completed, the height control component 4 controls the liquid outlet component 3 and the closing component 6 to reset, so that the liquid outlet component 3 enters the interior of the installation chamber 10, and the closing component 6 closes the extension port 5, so that the liquid outlet component 3 is in a closed environment to avoid contamination of the liquid outlet component 3. At the same time, the protection component 9 no longer blocks the sterilization lamp 8, and the shielding component 12 will also automatically reset to close the disinfection chamber 11. The sterilization lamp 8 will then operate and the disinfection chamber 11 will be sterilized again.

[0029] The liquid outlet assembly 3 includes a fixed conduit 301, and the fixed conduit 301 is fixedly plugged with the bottom of the storage bin 2, the inner wall of the fixed conduit 301 is movably plugged with a movable conduit 302, the bottom end of the movable conduit 302 is fixedly connected with a guide tube 303, the bottom surface of the guide tube 303 is fixedly installed with a nozzle 304, and the middle section of the movable conduit 302 is provided with a solenoid valve 305. It should be noted that when the infrared sensor 14 detects a human body downward, a time delay is preset, and the solenoid valve 305 is immediately opened, so that the disinfectant inside the storage bin 2 flows out of the fixed conduit 301, and is introduced into the nozzle 304 through the movable conduit 302 and the guide tube 303, and the nozzle 304 is used to spray the hand-free disinfectant on the user's hands.

[0030] The height control assembly 4 includes a motor 401, and the motor 401 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the installation chamber 10, the output end of the motor 401 is fixedly connected with a screw rod 402, and the screw rod 402 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation chamber 10, the surface of the screw rod 402 is threadedly connected with a connecting rod 404, and the end of the connecting rod 404 is fixedly connected to the movable guide tube 302, and the inner wall of the installation chamber 10 is fixedly connected with a sliding column 403, and the sliding column 403 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 404. More specifically, the motor 401 is operated to drive the screw rod 402 to rotate, and the connecting rod 404 will be driven to slide along the surface of the sliding column 403 under the action of the thread, thereby pulling the movable guide tube 302 down, and then pushing the guide tube 303 and the nozzle 304 down, so that the nozzle 304 enters the disinfection chamber 11 to disinfect the hands.

[0031] The closing assembly 6 includes a guide rod 601, and the guide rod 601 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the disinfection chamber 11, a stopper 602 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 601, and the stopper 602 is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the disinfection chamber 11, the bottom end of the screw rod 402 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 603, a driving gear 604 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 603, a rack 605 is fixedly connected to the left side of the stopper 602, and the rack 605 is meshed with the driving gear 604. It should be noted that when the hands are disinfected, the rotation of the screw rod 402 will drive the rotating shaft 603 and the driving gear 604 to rotate, and the driving gear 604 will drive the rack 605 to move, thereby driving the block 602 to slide along the surface of the guide rod 601, so that the block 602 no longer blocks the extension port 5, thereby ensuring that the guide tube 303 and the nozzle 304 can be smoothly extended from the extension port 5.

It should be noted that under normal conditions, the back of the cover plate 123 fits the front of the disinfection box 1, and the disinfection chamber 11 is closed to reduce external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the disinfection chamber 11. When it is needed, the user's hand is first placed under the infrared sensor 14. When the infrared sensor 14 detects the human body, the electric push rod 122 immediately runs, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 122 extends, thereby pushing the cover plate 123 to flip upward, so that the disinfection chamber 11 is exposed to the outside, and the user can put his hand into the disinfection chamber 11 for disinfection.

[0034] An observation glass 15 is embedded in the front of the disinfection box 1, and a scale line 16 is set on the surface of the observation glass 15. A filling port 17 is set on the top surface of the disinfection box 1. More specifically, by setting the observation glass 15 and the scale line 16, it is convenient to observe the remaining disinfectant inside the storage bin 2, so that the disinfectant can be added in time, and the filling port 17 can be used to add the disinfectant.

[0035] The back of the disinfection box 1 is fixed with a bracket 18 by bolts, and the front of the disinfection box 1 is fixed with an access panel 13 by screws.

[0036] In summary: when a user needs to disinfect his hands, he places his hands under the infrared sensor 14. When the infrared sensor 14 detects the human body, the shielding component 12 will immediately operate to remove the shielding of the disinfection chamber 11. The user can put his hands into the disinfection chamber 11. After a delay, the height control component 4 controls the liquid outlet component 3 to move downward. At the same time, the height control component 4 will drive the closing component 6 to operate to remove the shielding of the extension port 5. The bottom end of the liquid outlet component 3 will pass through the extension port 5. Then the liquid outlet component 3 will operate to spray the wash-free disinfectant on the user's hands. At the same time, the height control component 4 will drive the protective component 9 to operate to shield the sterilization lamp 8 to prevent the disinfectant from splashing onto the sterilization lamp 8. On the surface, after the disinfection is completed, the height control component 4 controls the liquid outlet component 3 and the sealing component 6 to reset, so that the liquid outlet component 3 enters the interior of the installation chamber 10, and the sealing component 6 closes the extension port 5, so that the liquid outlet component 3 is in a closed environment to avoid contamination of the liquid outlet component 3. At the same time, the protection component 9 no longer blocks the sterilization lamp 8, and the shielding component 12 will also automatically reset to close the disinfection chamber 11. The sterilization lamp 8 will then run and the disinfection chamber 11 will be sterilized again. During use, the effect of facilitating self-cleaning of the disinfection device is achieved, avoiding the contamination of the device itself during long-term use, and avoiding the breeding of bacteria near the nozzle, thereby avoiding cross infection.
