[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the disinfection cabinet includes:

[0029] The cabinet 1 and the inner container 2 installed in the cabinet 1 have a gap between the cabinet 1 and the inner container 2. The gap between the bottom plate 21 of the inner container and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet forms a lower cavity 1a; the gap between the back plate 22 of the inner container and the back plate 12 of the cabinet forms a rear cavity 1b.

[0030] A through hole 23 connecting the inner cavity of the inner container and the gap 11 is provided on the back plate 22 of the inner container.

[0031] The inner container 2 is provided with a disinfection unit (not shown in the figure), which may be an ultraviolet generator, an ozone generator, a disinfection steam generator or other types of disinfection units.

[0032] The other structures of the cabinet body and the inner tank are all conventional structures of disinfection cabinets.

[0033] The partition plate 3 is disposed in the lower cavity 1 a , and divides the lower cavity 1 a into an air inlet channel 6 and a first air duct 31 that are independent of each other.

[0034] The fan 4 is arranged at the rear end of the lower cavity, with its air inlet connected to the rear port of the air inlet channel, and its air outlet connected to the rear port of the first air duct. The fan 4 in this embodiment is a perfusion fan.

[0035] The heating device 9 is used to heat the airflow entering the lower cavity, and can be arranged in the air inlet channel or in the first air duct 31. In this embodiment, the heating device is arranged on the rear port of the air inlet channel.

[0036] The heating device can be any one of the existing technologies as needed, such as an electric heating tube, and the present embodiment is a PTC heating element.

[0037] The wind sweeping mechanism 5 is arranged on the front port of the first air duct and can swing up and down, thereby sweeping the air out of the first air duct up and down, so that the air out of the first air duct can cover a larger range. It includes a first motor 51, a first baffle 52 and a transmission assembly. Among them:

[0038] The first motor 51 is mounted on the lower surface of the partition 2 and is limited on the base plate; its output shaft drives the transmission assembly.

[0039] The transmission assembly includes a first connecting rod 53 drivingly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 51 , and a second connecting rod 54 hinged to the first connecting rod 53 . The second connecting rod 54 is drivingly connected to the first baffle 52 via a first connecting seat 55 .

[0040] In the present embodiment, there is only one first baffle plate, but multiple baffle plates may be provided as required; the first motor 51 is driven and connected to the first baffle plate 52 through a transmission assembly; the first baffle plate 52 swings relative to the front end of the first air duct 31 .

[0041] The first valve 8 is arranged on the front end of the air inlet channel 6 and is used to open or close the air inlet channel; it includes a second motor 81, a second baffle 82 and a second transmission assembly. Among them:

[0042] The second motor 81 is driven to connect to the second baffle 82 through the second transmission assembly. The second baffle 82 is arranged on the front port of the air inlet channel 6. The front port of the air inlet channel 8 is opened or closed by the rotation of the second baffle 82.

[0043] The second transmission assembly includes a third connecting rod 83 drivingly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 81 , and a fourth connecting rod 84 hinged to the third connecting rod 83 . The fourth connecting rod 84 is drivingly connected to the second baffle 82 via a second connecting seat 85 .

[0044] The second air duct 32 is used to discharge the hot air in the inner tank and is arranged in the rear cavity 1b. The inlet of the second air duct 32 is connected to the through hole 23, and the outlet of the second air duct 32 is connected to the rear port of the first air duct 31.

[0045] The first motor 51 and the second motor 81 are both supported and mounted on a bracket 85 , and two ends of the bracket 85 are connected to two opposite inner side walls of the cabinet.

[0046] The second valve 7 is arranged in the second air duct 32, and is used to open or close the communication between the first air duct and the through hole. The second valve 7 can be selected from existing technologies as needed. In this embodiment, the second valve 7 includes a valve plate 71 with one end edge rotatably connected to the rear wall plate of the cabinet, and a driving mechanism for driving the valve plate 71 to rotate. The valve plate 71 is transversely arranged in the communication channel, and the driving mechanism can be an electric push rod.

[0047] The driving mechanism in this embodiment includes an electromagnet 72 and a push rod 73. The push rod 73 is made of magnetic adsorption material. A sliding hole 74 is provided in the electromagnet 72. A connecting plate 75 is provided in the sliding hole 74. The push rod 73 is inserted into the sliding hole 74 so as to be movable up and down. The connecting plate drives the lower end of the push rod 73. A spring 76 is arranged between the connecting plate 75 and the upper end edge of the sliding hole.

[0048] When the electromagnet is energized, it drives the connecting plate to move upward to overcome the resistance of the spring 76, and the push rod drives the valve plate to rotate, thereby opening the second air duct; when the electromagnet is de-energized, the electromagnet loses its magnetism, and the push rod and the connecting plate move downward under the action of their own gravity and the elasticity of the spring, pulling the valve plate to reset, closing the second air duct and disconnecting the second air duct from the first air duct.

[0049] When the drying program of the disinfection cabinet is completed, the control system starts the solenoid valve to open, the second air duct is connected to the first air duct, the fan 4 works, the hot air in the inner tank is drawn out through the second air duct, and then enters the first air duct through the fan, and is blown from the first air duct to the bottom surface in front of the disinfection cabinet, while discharging the hot air in the inner tank, the ground in front of the disinfection cabinet is dried.

[0050] When the temperature inside the disinfection cabinet drops to a set value, the control system closes the second valve 7.

[0051] When the inner tank of the disinfection cabinet does not need to discharge hot air but needs to blow air to the ground, the second valve 7 is closed, and the second motor works, driving the second baffle to rotate through the action of the third connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod, thereby opening the front port of the air inlet channel; at the same time, the fan works to draw air from the surrounding environment of the disinfection cabinet, and the air of the surrounding environment enters through the air inlet channel, passes through the fan, and is discharged from the first air duct to dry the ground.

[0052] According to the air temperature requirements, the heating device can also be turned on to heat the air entering the lower cavity, and the hot air can be sent out to adjust the ambient temperature of the disinfection cabinet.

[0053] The first motor works to drive the first baffle to swing through the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, so as to blow the air flow in the first air duct to a wider range, thereby adjusting the air quality and / or temperature in a wider range.
