[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the disinfection cabinet includes:

[0030] 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 inner container bottom plate 11 and the cabinet bottom plate 21 constitutes a lower cavity 1a, and the gap between the inner container back plate 12 and the cabinet back plate 22 constitutes a rear cavity 1b.

[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 grille 14 is disposed on the front end of the lower cavity 1a to prevent large particles in the external environment from entering the lower cavity 1a. The grille can also be replaced by a filter.

[0033] The partition 33 is arranged in the lower cavity 1a, dividing the lower cavity 1a into an upper and lower air inlet channel 6 and a first air duct 31; the inlet of the first air duct is connected to the outlet of the air inlet channel 6, and the outlet of the first air duct is exposed to the cabinet 1 and faces the ground.

[0034] The partition plate 33 in this embodiment is inclined from bottom to top from the outlet of the first air duct to the direction where the fan is located, and the inclination angle can be between 30 and 65 degrees, and is 45 degrees in this embodiment, so that the airflow blown out of the first air duct faces the ground.

[0035] The fan 4 is used to extract air from the external environment of the disinfection cabinet through the air inlet channel 6 and blow it out from the first air channel to the ground to quickly dry the ground. It can be set at the entrance of the first air channel or in the first air channel 31. In this embodiment, it is set at the entrance of the first air channel and close to the rear wall plate; that is, the intersection of the outlet of the air inlet channel and the entrance of the first air channel. The air inlet channel is connected to the first air channel 32 through the fan. The fan 4 can be selected from any one of the existing technologies as needed. The fan 4 in this embodiment is a perfusion fan.

[0036] The heating device 8 is arranged in the first air duct 32, and is used to heat the airflow entering the first air duct to blow hot air to the ground. The heating device can be selected from any one of the prior art as needed, such as an electric heating tube, etc.; this embodiment is a PTC heater.

[0037] The swing mechanism 5 is arranged at the outlet of the first air duct and located inside the grille 14, and is used to sweep the air left and right so that the airflow can cover a larger range. It includes:

[0038] The blades 52 are provided at the outlet of the first air duct 32 and are located on the inner side of the grille. Each blade 52 is provided in parallel between the upper support plate 45 and the lower support plate 46 and can swing relative to the upper and lower support plates. The upper and lower parts of the blades 52 are connected to the upper and lower rotating shafts 43 and 44 through the upper and lower connecting rods 41 and 42. The upper and lower rotating shafts 43 and 44 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower bases 47 and 48. The upper and lower bases 47 and 48 are respectively connected to the upper and lower supporting rods 45 and 46 and protrude from the upper and lower supporting rods 45 and 46.

[0039] Each upper rotating shaft 43 is also drivingly connected to a first swing rod 54 , and each first swing rod 54 is drivingly connected to a second swing rod 55 .

[0040] The output shaft of the motor 51 is drivingly connected to one of the upper rotating shafts 43 .

[0041] When the motor 51 is working, the motor output shaft drives the connected upper shaft to rotate, and the upper shaft drives the first swing rod 54, the upper connecting rod 41, and the second swing rod 55 to swing in turn. The swing of the second swing rod 55 drives the other first swing rods 54 connected thereto to swing, and the blades 52 swing; the lower shaft 44 and the lower connecting rod 42 swing accordingly. The design of the lower shaft and the lower connecting rod is mainly to make the connection structure and the swinging action of the blades more stable. Through the swinging of the blades, the wind sent out from the first air duct outlet can be blown to a wider range.

[0042] The air duct plate 34 is arranged in the rear cavity 1b and is engaged with the back plate 12 of the inner liner to form a second air duct 32 connected to the fan inlet. The back plate 12 of the inner liner is provided with a through hole 23 connecting the second air duct 32 and the inner cavity of the inner liner.

[0043] The valve 7 is arranged in the second air duct 31, and is used to open or close the second air duct, so as to connect with the first air duct or cut off the connection with the first air duct. The valve 7 can select the existing technology as needed. The valve 7 in this embodiment includes a valve plate 71 whose one end edge is rotatably connected to the rear wall plate of the cabinet, and a switch driving mechanism driving the valve plate 71 to rotate. The valve plate 71 is transversely arranged in the communication channel, and the switch driving mechanism can be an electric push rod.

[0044] The switch 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] When the temperature inside the disinfection cabinet drops to the set value, the control system closes valve 7 and the fan.

[0048] When the inner tank of the disinfection cabinet does not need to discharge hot air but needs to blow air to the ground, valve 7 is closed, the fan works, and air is drawn from the environment around the disinfection cabinet. The air from 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. When hot air needs to be blown, the heating device works to heat the airflow entering the first air duct, blow hot air outward, and speed up the drying speed of the ground; the blown hot air will rise, and can also adjust the temperature of the environment around the disinfection cabinet.
