Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a portable storage box, and in particular to a portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the carrying of items and avoid cross contamination between the items and the external environment, people often use portable storage boxes to store items, such as using portable storage boxes to store toothbrushes, towels and other toiletries when traveling.

[0003] When using a portable storage box to store toiletries, since the storage space of the portable storage box is relatively closed, the toiletries are inevitably relatively damp, and the used toiletries themselves breed more bacteria. The closed environment of the portable storage box will cause the bacteria on the toiletries to multiply rapidly. The growth of bacteria will cause a large odor to be generated in the storage space of the portable storage box and the toiletries stored therein, which not only affects the user experience, but also easily causes hygiene and safety problems.

[0004] In summary, when a portable storage box stores items that are themselves breeding bacteria, how to reduce the breeding of bacteria, improve the user experience, and reduce the possibility of health and safety problems are urgent issues that manufacturers of portable storage boxes need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the user experience and reduce the possibility of health and safety problems, the present application provides a portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box.

[0006] The portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box, comprising a box body and a box cover, and also comprising:

[0008] a sterilization and antibacterial subsystem, configured to emit ultraviolet light of a first light intensity or a second light intensity, wherein the first light intensity is greater than the second light intensity, the ultraviolet light of the first light intensity is used to sterilize the closed storage space formed by the box body and the box cover, and the ultraviolet light of the second light intensity is used to inhibit bacteria in the closed storage space formed by the box body and the box cover;

[0009] A work trigger module, electrically connected to the bacteriostatic and sterilizing subsystem, and used to output a work trigger signal, wherein the work trigger signal causes the bacteriostatic and sterilizing subsystem to first emit ultraviolet light of a first light intensity for a preset time, and then continuously emit ultraviolet light of a second light intensity;

[0010] And an electric energy storage module is electrically connected to the bacteriostasis subsystem and the work trigger module, and is used to store electric energy and supply power to the bacteriostasis subsystem and the work trigger module.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box is used to store some items that breed bacteria, the items are placed in the box body, the box cover is closed on the box body, and the working trigger module is started. The working trigger module outputs a working trigger signal, and the working trigger signal causes the bactericidal and antibacterial subsystem to first perform a sterilization work for a preset time and then continue to perform an antibacterial work for a preset time. The electric energy storage module supplies power to the bactericidal and antibacterial subsystem and the working trigger module. That is, after the box body and the box cover are closed to form a closed storage space, the bactericidal and antibacterial subsystem first uses ultraviolet light with a stronger first light intensity to sterilize the storage space. Sterilization is carried out, and then the bactericidal and bacteriostatic subsystem uses ultraviolet rays of a weaker second light intensity to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the storage space. This method of first sterilizing for a preset time and then continuously inhibiting bacteria can not only more effectively kill the bacteria that grow on the items themselves and inhibit the growth of bacteria, but also reduce the amount of electricity consumed in the bactericidal and bacteriostatic process, thereby increasing the usage time of the portable bactericidal and bacteriostatic storage box after a single charge; the absence of odor caused by a large number of bacteria and the longer usage time after a single charge both improve the user experience, and the growth of bacteria on the box body and the items inside the box is less, reducing the possibility of hygiene and safety problems.

[0012] Preferably, the bactericidal and bacteriostatic subsystem comprises:

[0013] An ultraviolet sterilization module, used for emitting ultraviolet light of a first light intensity, wherein the ultraviolet light of the first light intensity is used for sterilizing a closed storage space formed by the box body and the box cover;

[0014] And an ultraviolet antibacterial module, which is used to emit ultraviolet light of a second light intensity, the first light intensity is greater than the second light intensity, and the ultraviolet light of the second light intensity is used to perform antibacterial work on the closed storage space formed by the box body and the box cover.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the ultraviolet sterilization module and the ultraviolet antibacterial module are used to perform sterilization and antibacterial work independently, so that the sterilization and antibacterial work are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the stability of the sterilization and antibacterial work process.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, the operation and setting of the process of manually controlling the sterilization and antibacterial inhibition by using a push button switch are relatively simple and low in cost. The automatic start method of using a pressure switch and / or a proximity switch arranged at the connection between the box cover and the box body to detect whether the box cover is covered on the box body is simple to set and low in cost.

[0022] Preferably, the electric energy storage module includes a charging interface and / or an output interface, the charging interface allows the electric energy storage module to be electrically connected to a power source for charging, and the output interface allows the electric energy storage module to be electrically connected to an electrical device to power the electrical device.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric energy storage module is charged using a charging interface, and the charging process is simple and convenient. The setting of the output interface enables the electric energy storage module to supply power to other electrical devices, thereby increasing the usability of the storage box.

[0024] Preferably, the ultraviolet sterilization module and the ultraviolet antibacterial module each include at least two ultraviolet light sources, and the at least two ultraviolet light sources are distributed at least on both sides of the storage space, so as to sterilize and inhibit bacteria with ultraviolet light on at least two sides of the items in the storage space.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, since the probability and efficiency of the growth system on the surface of the object are equal, at least two light sources are used to perform ultraviolet sterilization and antibacterial treatment on at least two sides of the object, which can more comprehensively reduce the bacterial content on the surface of the object and more comprehensively reduce the growth rate of bacteria on the surface of the object.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0048] A portable storage box is a box that can be used to store items to prevent them from being contaminated by the outside environment and is easy to carry.

[0049] When using a portable storage box to store items that breed bacteria, the relatively closed storage space provides a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, the existing bacteria will quickly breed in the storage box and on the stored items, contaminating the storage space and the items in the storage space. This not only easily causes health and safety problems, but also the large-scale growth of bacteria will produce odors, affecting the user's use. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to sterilize the storage space of the storage box.

[0050] To this end, the present application provides a portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box.

[0051] The storage box uses ultraviolet light for sterilization. Ultraviolet light sterilization is a common sterilization method. The higher the light intensity, the higher the ultraviolet light sterilization efficiency, and the lower the light intensity, the lower the ultraviolet light sterilization efficiency. When the ultraviolet light sterilization efficiency is as low as the bacterial growth efficiency, it can only inhibit the bacterial growth but cannot reduce the bacteria. When the ultraviolet light sterilization efficiency is even lower, it can only reduce the bacterial growth efficiency.

[0052] Considering that the portable storage box needs to be easy to carry, its power supply can only be a mobile charging power supply. At the same time, the volume of the portable storage box is limited, so the volume of the mobile charging power supply cannot be too large, which limits the amount of electric energy that the mobile charging power supply can store. The mobile charging power supply supplies power for the ultraviolet sterilization process. The higher the intensity of ultraviolet light, although the sterilization efficiency will increase, the power consumption will also be greater, and the use time of the mobile charging power supply will be shortened. Conversely, the use time of the mobile charging power supply will increase, but the sterilization efficiency will decrease.

[0053] In order to create an environment with fewer bacteria in the storage space of a storage box for a longer period of time using a mobile independent power source with limited and less power, an embodiment of the present application discloses a portable bactericidal and antibacterial storage box.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 The storage box comprises a box body 5 and a box cover 6. The box body 5 can store items, and the box cover 6 can cover the box body 5 to form a closed storage space for storing items to prevent the items from being contaminated by the external environment.

[0055] The box body 5 and the box cover 6 can be in any shape, such as rectangular, cylindrical, triangular, polygonal, etc., as long as the box body 5 and the box cover 6 cooperate to form a closed storage space; the connection method of the box body 5 and the box cover 6 can be detachable, such as plug-in, threaded, snap-on, etc., or the box body 5 and the box cover 6 can be non-detachable, as long as the storage space can be opened and closed; the non-detachable connection method of the box body 5 and the box cover 6 can be hinged on one side and snap-on on the other side, hinged on one side and magnetically connected on the other side, etc.

[0056] In summary, this embodiment only limits the box body 5 and the box cover 6 to cooperate with each other to form a closed storage space that can be opened and closed, and does not limit any other features of the box body 5 and the box cover 6.

[0057] In one example, the box body 5 is a cylindrical tube with one end closed, and an external thread is arranged on the outer side of the open end of the box body 5. The box cover 6 is also a cylindrical tube with one end closed, and an internal thread is arranged on the inner side of the open end of the box cover 6. The box cover 6 and the box body 5 are both made of food-grade PVC material of integral injection molding. The outer diameter of the open end of the box body 5 matches the inner diameter of the open end of the box cover 6, and the internal thread matches the external thread, so that the box cover 6 can match the shape of the box body 5 to form a closed storage space for storing items. The user can put the items to be stored into the box body 5 by screwing the box cover 6 off the box body 5, and then screw the box cover 6 on the box body 5 to achieve the closure of the storage space.

[0058] The storage box also includes an ultraviolet sterilization module 1, an ultraviolet antibacterial module 2, a work trigger module 3 and an electric energy storage module 4. Among them, the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 has a higher power and is used to sterilize the storage space with ultraviolet light of higher light intensity, the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 has a lower power and is used to inhibit the storage space with ultraviolet light of lower light intensity, the work trigger module 3 controls the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 to work for a preset time, and controls the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 to work continuously, and the electric energy storage module 4 supplies power for the ultraviolet sterilization and antibacterial work of the entire storage box.

[0059] Considering that the items stored in the storage space of the storage box themselves breed bacteria, after the items are stored in the storage space, the work trigger module 3 is controlled to work. After the work trigger module 3 controls the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 to work for a preset time, the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 is controlled to work continuously, that is, the storage space and the items in the storage space are first sterilized with ultraviolet light of higher light intensity for a preset time to reduce the bacteria in the storage space and on the items, and then the storage space is irradiated with ultraviolet light of continuous lower light intensity to continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria in the storage space and on the items.

[0060] After the sterilization work, the bacterial content in the storage space and on the items has been reduced, and the bacterial base in the storage space is small. Continuous antibacterial work can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Combined with the small bacterial base itself, the bacterial growth efficiency can be greatly inhibited, thereby achieving bacterial growth with high efficiency, zero growth or even negative growth. This depends on the coordination of sterilization power, sterilization time, antibacterial power, battery capacity of the power storage module 4 and the space capacity of the storage space.

[0061] That is, the UV sterilization module 1 and the UV antibacterial module 2 both include several UV lamps. Generally speaking, if the storage box is used to carry toiletries such as toothbrushes, towels, etc., the storage space volume of the storage box is generally 500ml-800ml, the overall power of the UV sterilization module 1 is generally 10W-20W, and the preset duration is generally 3S-5S. The power of the UV antibacterial module 2 is generally 1W-2W as a whole, and the capacity of the power storage module 4 is generally 3000mAH-5000mAH.

[0062] The probability of bacteria breeding in the storage space and each part of the items is the same. Therefore, in order to achieve the disinfection and sterilization of the storage space and the items in the storage space as a whole, considering that the items themselves have a blocking effect on ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet light source set on one side of the item cannot irradiate the side of the item away from the ultraviolet light source to sterilize / inhibit bacteria. Generally, the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 include at least two ultraviolet light sources, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the storage space to sterilize / inhibit bacteria on the object as a whole.

[0063] Whether it is the UV sterilization module 1 or the UV antibacterial module 2, the more UV light sources are included and the more evenly the UV light sources are distributed at the edge of the storage space, the more evenly the outer surface of the items in the storage space can be sterilized and inhibited. Of course, since the two UV light sources irradiate from both sides of the items, the entire outer surface of the items can be sterilized and inhibited, so in actual application, the number of UV light sources in the UV sterilization module 1 and the UV antibacterial module 2 will not be too large.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one example, the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 each include three ultraviolet light sources. The three ultraviolet light sources of the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 are set as three 6W ultraviolet lamp tubes 11, and the three ultraviolet light sources of the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 are set as three ultraviolet light strips 21. Each ultraviolet light strip 21 may include 3-8 UV-LED ultraviolet lamps arranged in sequence, and the power of each UV-LED ultraviolet lamp may be 0.1W-0.25W. Specifically, each ultraviolet light strip 21 may include 5 UV-LED ultraviolet lamps, and the power of each UV-LED ultraviolet lamp is 0.1W.

[0065] In another example, the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 each include two ultraviolet light sources. The two ultraviolet light sources of the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 are both set to 4W-8W ultraviolet lamp tubes, and the two ultraviolet light sources of the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 are both set to LED ultraviolet light strips. Each ultraviolet light strip may include 4-8 UV-LED ultraviolet lamps arranged in sequence, and the power of each UV-LED ultraviolet lamp can be 0.1-0.25W.

[0066] Of course, the ultraviolet light sources of the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 can also be set to the same group of 10W-20W LED ultraviolet lamps. This group of LED ultraviolet rays can be used for both sterilization and antibacterial work, but the power is different during sterilization and antibacterial work. Generally, this group of LED ultraviolet lamps runs at full power during sterilization and at 5% power during antibacterial work. This method makes the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 occupy a smaller space, which is more suitable for storage boxes with smaller volumes.

[0067] The ultraviolet light bar 21 is in the shape of a long strip, and the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 is in the shape of a cylinder. The ultraviolet light bar 21 and the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical box body 5. Specifically, the straight lines where the lengths of the ultraviolet light bar 21 and the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 are located are parallel to the axis of the box body 5. The ultraviolet light bar 21 and the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 are arranged at intervals and evenly distributed in a circle on the inner wall of the box body 5. The three ultraviolet lamp tubes 11 can perform a more comprehensive sterilization work on the surface of the objects placed in the box body 5, and the three ultraviolet light bars 21 can perform a more comprehensive antibacterial work on the surface of the objects placed in the box body 5.

[0068] In order to avoid mutual influence between objects and the circuit structures of the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2, the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 are generally arranged outside the storage space, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 can irradiate into the storage space. Of course, in order to prevent the ultraviolet light from irradiating outside the box body 5, causing loss or affecting the external environment, the box body 5 as a whole is generally made opaque.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one example, the box body 5 includes a light-transmitting inner liner 52 and an opaque outer shell 51. The inner liner 52 can be specifically made of transparent food-grade PVC material and integrally injection-molded. The outer shell 51 can also be made of transparent food-grade PVC material and integrally injection-molded. It is only necessary to apply an opaque coating on the inner surface and / or outer surface of the outer shell 51. Of course, the outer shell 51 can also be made of a material that is itself opaque, such as stainless steel material and integrally cast. Specifically, the inner liner 52 can be made of transparent food-grade PVC material and integrally injection-molded, and the outer shell 51 can be made of stainless steel material and integrally cast.

[0070] The liner 52 and the outer shell 51 are both cylindrical with one end open and the other end closed. The inner diameter of the outer shell 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the liner 52. A connecting neck is integrally provided at the open end of the outer shell 51. The outer diameter of the neck is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer shell 51. The inner diameter of the neck is loosely matched with the outer diameter of the liner 52 so that the liner 52 can be inserted into the outer shell 51 through the neck. The length of the liner 52 is smaller than the length of the outer shell 51. The open end of the liner 52 is integrally turned outward to form a clamping edge 521. The outer diameter of the clamping edge 521 is equal to the outer diameter of the neck.

[0071] Insert the closed end of the inner liner 52 into the outer shell 51 with the end facing the connecting constriction of the outer shell 51 until the clamping edge 521 abuts against the open end of the connecting constriction, and the assembly of the inner liner 52 and the outer shell 51 is completed, so that the gap between the outer wall of the inner liner 52 and the inner wall of the outer shell 51 can accommodate the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21, that is, the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21 can be fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 51, and the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21 can pass through the inner liner 52 to irradiate the storage space in the inner liner 52 and the items stored in the storage space, and the bactericidal and antibacterial ultraviolet light can cover the outer surface of the items more comprehensively.

[0072] The length of the inner tank 52 is smaller than that of the outer shell 51 , so that a cylindrical placement cavity can be reserved at the bottom of the inner tank 52 and the bottom of the outer shell 51 , and the placement cavity can be used to place other electrical structures such as the energy storage module 4 and the working trigger module 3 .

[0073] Correspondingly, the outer thread of the box body 5 is arranged on the outer side of the connection neck, the length of the box cover 6 is equal to the length of the neck, and the outer diameter of the box cover 6 is the same as the outer diameter of the shell 51. The box cover 6 can be screwed on the connection neck, and the box body 5 formed by the box cover 6 covering the box body 5 is a cylinder as a whole. The overall regular shape of the storage box is not only more beautiful, but also convenient for the storage and placement of the storage box.

[0074] The box cover 6 is also made of an opaque material, and can be specifically made of stainless steel and integrally cast.

[0075] It is understandable that in actual application, the commercializability of the storage box as a whole should be considered, such as polishing and coating the inner and outer surfaces of the box body 5 and the box cover 6, chamfering the outer edges of the box body 5 and the box cover 6, and providing elastic seals such as rubber pads at the connection between the box body 5 and the box cover 6, etc. These are conventional technical means for technical personnel in this field and do not belong to the content of this solution, so they will not be listed and introduced one by one.

[0076] The electric energy storage module 4 includes an electric energy storage unit and a power conversion unit. The electric energy storage unit is used to store and supply electric energy. The power conversion unit is electrically connected to the electric energy storage unit and outputs the electric energy output by the electric energy storage unit in the form of specified voltage and current to meet the power supply needs of different electrical structures such as the ultraviolet lamp tube 11, the ultraviolet light bar 21 and the work start module. The electric energy storage unit can be a mobile independent power source such as a chemical storage battery, a charging capacitor, etc., and the power conversion unit can be a controlled power module.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example, the electric energy storage unit may specifically include a lithium battery, and the power conversion unit may specifically include a DC-DC controlled power module. The lithium battery is electrically connected to the DC-DC controlled power module, and the DC-DC controlled power module is electrically connected to the power terminals of the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21 to supply power to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21. Both the lithium battery and the DC-DC controlled power module can be fixedly installed in the space between the bottom of the inner tank 52 and the bottom of the outer shell 51.

[0078] It is understandable that the power conversion unit also includes a charging interface 41 to realize charging of the energy storage unit, and the power conversion can also include an output interface 42 to realize charging of other electrical devices through the energy storage unit. In the example, the charging interface 41 is set as a type-c interface, and the output interface 42 is set as a USB interface. The charging interface 41 and the output interface 42 are both set on the outer side wall of the bottom of the box body 5. The energy storage module 4 can be charged through the type-c interface, and the energy stored in the energy storage module 4 can be supplied to electrical devices such as mobile phones through the USB interface.

[0079] The work trigger module 3 includes a work trigger unit and a work control unit. The function of the work trigger unit is to detect the user's manual operation to start the sterilization and bacteriostasis work and / or to sense that the box cover 6 covers the box body 5 and automatically start the sterilization and bacteriostasis work. The work control unit includes the above-mentioned control logic of "after the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 works for a preset time, the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 continues to work", and the work control unit is electrically connected to the work trigger unit and the power conversion unit. When the sterilization and bacteriostasis work is triggered by the work trigger unit, the work control unit can control the power conversion unit to first supply power to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 for a preset time, and then continue to supply power to the ultraviolet light bar 21. The work control unit can include a single-chip microcomputer and a matching functional logic program, and can also include an analog circuit with a timing switching function. Of course, it can also be a combination of a single-chip microcomputer, a functional logic program and an analog circuit.

[0080] In one example, the working trigger unit includes a trigger button 31, which is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 51. The working control unit includes an FPGA programmable controller, an input pin of the FPGA programmable controller is electrically connected to the power supply through the trigger button 31, and an output pin is connected to the DC-DC controlled power supply module. When the trigger button 31 is closed, the FPGA programmable controller controls the DC-DC controlled power supply module to first supply power to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 for 5S, and then continuously supply power to the ultraviolet light strip 21. When the trigger button 31 is disconnected, the DC-DC controlled power supply module stops supplying power to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21, that is, the start and stop of the bactericidal and antibacterial actions are controlled by the trigger button 31.

[0081] In another example, the work trigger unit includes a pressure switch or a proximity switch 32, which can be specifically a proximity switch 32. The proximity switch 32 is arranged at the connection between the housing 51 and the connecting sleeve 511. When the box cover 6 covers the box body 5, it abuts against the proximity switch 32 to close the proximity switch 32. The work control unit includes a timer and an inverter A1. The start end of the timer is electrically connected to the power supply through the proximity switch 32. The output end of the timer is directly electrically connected to the input pin of the DC-DC controlled power module corresponding to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11. The output end of the timer is electrically connected to the input end of the inverter A1. The output end of the inverter A1 is connected to the input pin of the DC-DC controlled power module corresponding to the ultraviolet light strip 21. When the box cover 6 is closed on the box body 5, the open part of the box cover 6 is close to the proximity switch 32, and the proximity switch 32 is closed, the timer starts, first outputs a high-level signal of a preset duration, and then continuously outputs a low-level signal, so that the input pin of the DC-DC controlled power supply module corresponding to the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 is connected to a high level of a preset duration, and then the input pin of the DC-DC controlled power supply module corresponding to the ultraviolet light bar 21 is continuously connected to a high level, so that after the box cover 6 is closed, the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 is first started for a preset duration, and then the ultraviolet light bar 21 is continuously started to sterilize for a preset duration and then continuously inhibit bacteria. The box cover 6 is unscrewed from the box body 5, the proximity switch 32 is disconnected, the timer is turned off, and the sterilization and bacteriostasis process stops.

[0082] In actual application, the working trigger unit can specifically start the sterilization and antibacterial process in a combination of manual start and automatic start. A specific example is that the working trigger unit includes a trigger button 31 and a proximity switch 32, and the working control unit includes a timer and an inverter A1. The connection method of the timer and the inverter A1 and the connection method of the two with the DC-DC controlled power supply module are consistent with the above example. The mechanical positions of the trigger button 31 and the proximity switch 32 are also consistent with the above example. The trigger button 31 is used to control the start end of the timer, and the proximity switch 32 is used to control the trigger end of the timer. After the timer is started by the trigger button 31, the timer can work. When the box cover 6 covers the box body 5, the timer is triggered and starts working. It first outputs a high level for a preset time and then continuously outputs a low level to achieve the process of sterilizing for a preset time and then continuing to inhibit bacteria. The sterilization and antibacterial process can be interrupted by disconnecting either the trigger button 31 or the proximity switch 32.

[0083] The storage box also includes a power detection module, an integrated control module, and a prompt module. The power detection module is electrically connected to the electric energy storage module 4, specifically to the electric energy storage unit, and is used to detect the remaining power of the electric energy storage unit. The integrated control module is electrically connected to the power detection module and the prompt module to receive the remaining power of the electric energy storage unit. The integrated control module compares the remaining power of the electric energy storage unit with the preset power value. If the remaining power is lower than the preset power value, the integrated control module controls the prompt module to prompt that the power is insufficient.

[0084] In one example, the power detection module may include a battery monitoring chip, which is electrically connected to a lithium battery to collect the remaining power of the lithium battery. The preset power value is 20% of the total power of the lithium battery. When the remaining power of the lithium battery is less than 20% of the total power, the prompt module may include a GSM SMS transceiver module, and the integrated control module includes an STM32 microcontroller. When the remaining power of the lithium battery is less than 20%, the STM32 microcontroller triggers the GSM SMS transceiver module to work and sends a text message with specified content to the mobile phone of a specified contact, such as "The storage box power is less than 20%."

[0085] Preferably, the integrated control module is also electrically connected to the working control unit and the power conversion unit. The integrated control module adjusts the working power of the ultraviolet lamp 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21 and the working time of the ultraviolet lamp 11 according to the remaining power of the electric energy storage unit. Specifically, a plurality of different power preset values ​​can be set in the integrated control module, such as a first preset value, a second preset value, and a third preset value from high to low. When the remaining power is higher than the first preset value, sterilization is carried out at the first sterilization power of the first duration and the first bacteriostatic power is used for continuous bacteriostasis. When the remaining power is higher than the second preset value but lower than the first preset value, sterilization is carried out at the second sterilization power of the second duration and the second bacteriostatic power is used for continuous bacteriostasis. When the remaining power is between the second preset value and the third preset value, sterilization is carried out at the third sterilization power of the third duration and the third bacteriostatic power is used for bacteriostasis. Generally, the first sterilization power, the second sterilization power, and the third sterilization power decrease in sequence, and the first bacteriostatic power, the second bacteriostatic power, and the third bacteriostatic power decrease in sequence, and the first preset duration, the second preset duration, and the third preset duration are shortened in sequence.

[0086] The working power of the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21 can be controlled by controlling the working voltage through the power conversion unit, or the working power of the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 can be changed by changing the number of UV-LED ultraviolet lamps on the luminous ultraviolet lamp tube 11 and the ultraviolet light strip 21. The sterilization time can be controlled by controlling the preset time through the working control module, thereby adjusting the sterilization and antibacterial process according to the remaining power of the storage box, which is conducive to matching a sterilization and antibacterial scheme that is more suitable for the remaining power.

[0087] Furthermore, the integrated control module is also electrically connected to a wireless communication module, and the integrated controller can be connected to other control devices such as mobile phones through the wireless communication module. The integrated control module sends the sterilization power, sterilization time, antibacterial power and the remaining power of the storage box in the sterilization and antibacterial process to the control device through the integrated controller. The user can monitor the sterilization and antibacterial scheme through the control device, and the user can send an adjustment command to the wireless communication module through the control device to control the integrated control module. The integrated control module adjusts the sterilization power, sterilization time, and antibacterial power according to the adjustment command. The sterilization and antibacterial scheme is more flexible and can better meet the needs of users. The wireless communication module can be a short-range wireless connection module such as a WiFi module and a Bluetooth module, or a long-range wireless connection module such as a 4G / 5G mobile communication system and an Internet system. Here, it is preferably a WiFi module.

[0088] Combined with the short-range wireless connection module, a lost reminder function can be added to the integrated control module. When the integrated control module is connected to the control device through the process wireless connection module, the connection information is written in the control device. When the short-range wireless connection module is disconnected from the connected control device, the connection information is automatically converted into disconnection information to remind the user that the distance between the storage box and itself has exceeded the limit distance of the short-range wireless connection, so that the user can know in time when the storage box is lost. The disconnection information can include one or more of voice prompts, vibration prompts, and sound prompts.

[0089] The storage box also includes an ultraviolet intensity detection module, which is used to detect the ultraviolet intensity in the storage space, including an ultraviolet sensor. The ultraviolet sensor can be one or more. The ultraviolet sensor can be set on the inner wall of the outer shell 51 or on the outer wall of the inner tank 52. It only needs to detect the ultraviolet light intensity. The ultraviolet sensor outputs an ultraviolet intensity signal, and the ultraviolet intensity signal reflects the ultraviolet intensity of the storage space.

[0090] One or more ultraviolet sensors are electrically connected to the integrated control module, and the integrated control module receives the ultraviolet intensity signal. The integrated control module can detect whether ultraviolet rays exist in the storage space and the intensity of the ultraviolet rays according to the ultraviolet intensity signal, so as to monitor whether the ultraviolet sterilization module 1 and the ultraviolet antibacterial module 2 use ultraviolet rays to sterilize and inhibit bacteria normally and whether the ultraviolet intensity meets the required intensity. When the integrated control module adjusts the sterilization power and the antibacterial power according to the adjustment command, it can also be adjusted according to the ultraviolet intensity, so that the ultraviolet light intensity actually generated by the adjusted sterilization power and the antibacterial power for sterilization and inhibition meets the expected light intensity, further ensuring the accuracy of the sterilization and antibacterial light intensity, thereby achieving more accurate utilization of electrical energy.

[0091] The implementation principle of a portable sterilization and antibacterial storage box in the example of the present application is: the items are stored in the box body 5, the box body 5 is covered with a box cover 6, the trigger button 31 is pressed to close the trigger button 31, the ultraviolet lamp tube 11 is first started for 5S, and then the ultraviolet light strip 21 is continuously started, so that the surface of the item is first sterilized for a preset time and then the antibacterial process is performed. Opening the box cover 6 to disconnect the proximity switch 32 or disconnecting the trigger button 31 can terminate the sterilization and antibacterial process. The storage box can also charge the mobile phone through the USB interface.

[0092] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
